Beetroot, carrot & chickpea pittas with spicy yogurt

Fried up some haloumi and slipped it into the pittas with the yoghurt and salad mix, this made it really delicious as the saltiness of the cheese offset the sweetness of the beetroot and carrot.

I thought it tasted ok but wasn't blown away. I cooked some chicken on the side and ate it with it, which improved the dish tremendously. Would only have it again with this meaty extra as it really helps with the flavour.

Tastes ok (but you know it's healthy), but really not 'a great lunchbox filler' because it goes soggy and is then very messy to eat. I ended up eating the filling with a fork and having the soggy pitta bread alongside. Could see it working better if you were able to prepare and eat fresh (it looked quite appetising when I made it in the morning!)

Same ingredients, different method: Put chickpeas, chopped beetroot, most of the yoghurt, dash of lemon juice, salt and pepper into a small food processor ( a teaspoon of tahini and maybe a little garlic too). Blend until consistency of hummus, stir through the mint. Garnish with swirl of remaining yoghurt. Serve with carrot batons and other crudités and toasted pitta fingers. Travels well, easy to eat and very tasty.

One word - Yum! Love this, although I didn't use the mint as I don't like, it but added some lemon juice as per previous comment.

lovely recipe... it doesnt travel well but great eaten straight away. I added some lemon juice to the salad mix, and be careful not to over-toast the pitta before filling!

I was suprised with this, I am not a huge fan of raw carrot although i enjoyed this. Pitta breads are very dry although the yoghurt dressing was very nice to counteract this. I though the pockets tasted lovely and was easy to make. To keep everything in the pitta, wrap tighlty in clingfilm for transporting to work etc.

This looked great but was Not Nice! One of those things you force yourself to finish because you know it's really good for you, not because it tastes good. Incredibly messy to eat as well and really doesn't transport well in a lunchbox.
