Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut pita into triangles, toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, and spread on a baking sheet.

  2. Step 2

    Bake pita for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    In a skillet, heat remaining olive oil over medium. Add pine nuts and toast until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    In a saucepan, warm the tomato sauce over medium heat. Season with salt and simmer for 5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    In a bowl, whisk the yogurt with a pinch of salt until smooth. If too thick, add a splash of water.

  6. Step 6

    Arrange crispy pita on a serving plate. Top with cooked meat, then drizzle with tomato sauce.

  7. Step 7

    Spoon the yogurt over the top, sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
