Goat's cheese and mediteranian veg GF lunch pittas with - nourishing, light and delicious.


On the theme of pitta bread recipe ideas, this makes a great light, tasty and satisfying lunch.

So much nicer than a sandwhich and there are many variations that you can try, this one has a taste of holidays in the mediteranian, filled with nutrients and fibre.


Ingredients:

Wholegrain gluten free pitta bread (from BeFree Foods online or in supermarkets)

Crumbly goat's cheese or feta

Pink chicory leaves

Red onion

Sun blush or dried tomatoes

Red pepper

Olive oil

Balsamic vinegar

Chives or basil to garnish


Warm the pittas in a toaster, slice in half and fill with the mixture.

For taking to work keep the mixture separately to the pittas and prepare just before eating for lunch.


Health benefits:

High in fibre which supports gut health and digestive tract lining.


Goat's cheese is easier to digest than other dairy, and eaten in moderate amounts can be fine when avoiding most other dairy.

A good source of minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, copper and selenium. It also contains some healthy fats including medium chain fatty acids, polyunsaturated fats and a good source of essential amino acids (high quality protein)

Chicory and red onion contains inulin and antioxidants - good for digestion, liver and gut health.
