Ingredients

Dill Yogurt Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons dill minced fresh
  • 1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic minced or grated
  • lemon juice from ½
  • ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
Curry Chickpeas
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Finely mince the dill and place in a small bowl along with the yogurt. Add in the minced/grated garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Stir to combine, set aside, and let rest while making the chickpeas.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil followed by the chickpeas, curry powder, and salt if needed. Cook until the chickpeas are hot, about five minutes.
  3. Warm the pita bread then slice in half. Stuff with ¼ of the arugula topped with ¼ of the chickpeas and a drizzle of about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce.

Notes

  • Tips & Tricks: Look for pita that advertise a pocket. I’ve run into times when I buy pita only to realize they specifically made them with no pocket. You can also make your own pita!

  • Also, before stuffing, I like to warm the pita slightly. This can be done easily on the stove-top! If you own a gas stove-top, simply warm the pita over the gas flame. If you don’t have a gas oven, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and warm that way. This also works really well if you store the pita in the freezer and need to thaw them before stuffing!
