Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of neutral oil, divided
- 1 large yellow onion, very thinly sliced
- pinch of salt
- 1 pint of button mushrooms, sliced
- 3 teaspoons of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 ½ lemons
- ½ cup of tahini
- ¼ cup of parsley
- salt & pepper to taste
- water to taste
- 1 large tomato for slicing
- 1 cup of spinach
- 2 pita breads, cut in half
Instructions
- In a medium pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and mix them to coat with oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add salt, and cook for 30 minutes, occasionally mixing until golden and caramelized.
- While the onions are cooking, in a large pan with a lid, heat the remaining oil, add the mushrooms, and cook until they begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and the juice of half a lemon. Mix well and cook over medium-low heat until the onions are ready. Mix occasionally to make sure it’s not burning. Add a couple of splashes of water if the mixture is drying up. Continue to cook until the mushrooms have shrunk in size and are juicy and tender.
- In a small bowl mix the tahini, parsley, juice of 2 lemons, salt, and pepper. Mix and slowly add water until the desired creamy and runny consistency is achieved. Set aside.
- Slice the tomatoes and set them aside. Warm up the pita bread, cut it in half, and set aside.
- To assemble the pita sandwiches, gently open the pita, and add some dressing all around inside. Add some spinach, one tomato slice, a scoop of mushrooms, and a spoonful of caramelized onions. Top with a little more dressing to serve.

Notes
- Take your time to caramelize the onions: It can take between 30 and 45 minutes for the onions to turn golden brown. Be patient! I promise it’s worth it. Caramelized onions are rich and slightly sweet, giving this sandwich restaurant-quality flavors.
- Cook the mushrooms in a single layer: The secret to tender-on-the-inside and crisp-on-the-outside mushrooms is to fry them in a single layer in the pan, leaving space in between the slices. Overlapping the mushrooms will cause them to steam instead of crisp.
- Are the mushrooms drying up in the pan? Prevent them from drying up or burning by adding a couple of splashes of water to the pan as they cook.
