Mediterranean Bowls
It's a bowl. It's a pita. It's a sandwich. It's all the things and I'm here for it. Mediterranean Bowls are the new deconstructed gyro and our current favorite way to get a quick exciting dinner on the table in mere minutes. We pepper ground chicken with citrusy sumac, sweet sun-dried tomatoes and plenty of onion and garlic before nestling the mixture on top of cheesy Labneh. We serve it with warm, soft pita bread and plenty of cucumber for crunch.
