I am always looking for healthy items for a lunch meal. I found this recipe good. I think I want to play with the tahini sauce till I get it to my liking. I also found I was shoving way to much into the pita. But otherwise this was a good meal in place of a sandwich. And I liked I was using only vegetables and healthy stuff. You can't beat that.

These were great and very flavourful. I did add some lamb kofta and meatballs I'd also made and the family loved them. Super-healthy too.

This was a delicious lunch and very filling, Little Miss and I ate this up before we left to go to town and it was so filling that we didn't need to pick up a snack. I really enjoyed the Tahini sauce. Thank you Enjolinfam - *Made for Zaar World Tour 4*

This made a very yummy and FILLING lunch! The tahini sauce was quite tasty. I left out the spinach and added a bit of hot sauce. Thanks Enjolinfam! Made for ZWT 4 Zingo.
