Portobella Mushroom Shwarma Pitas
Serves 4
Total Time 25 min
- 1 lb. portobello mushroom caps, (remove stem) sliced ½-inch thick
- 1 medium red onion, halved and cut into ⅓-inch wedges
- 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon ground sweet or smoked paprika (optional)
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 4 pitas, (optional)
- 2 packed cups very thinly sliced red cabbage (about 6 ounces)
- ¾ cup low-fat or whole-milk Greek or Coconut yogurt
- ¾ teaspoon ground turmeric
- Cilantro and or mint, for serving
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a large rimmed sheet pan, drizzle the mushrooms and red onion with 3 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with cumin, coriander, paprika (if using), 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer and roast until tender and browned, about 20 minutes. Add the pitas directly to the oven rack to warm during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Meanwhile, toss cabbage with the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in a medium bowl; toss to coat. Season generously with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, stir together yogurt and turmeric; season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, slather yogurt over warm pitas. Top with cabbage, mushroom mixture, and herbs, and serve immediately.
Enjoy! (:
