Cauliflower

Pita

Method

Prepare Chicken Schnitzel

  1. 1

    Flatten the Chicken

    Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs. Season each component with salt and pepper. Dip each chicken breast first in flour, then in egg, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let it rest on paper towels.

Make Zhug

  1. 4

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine cilantro, parsley, jalapeño, garlic, cumin, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth.

Make Tzatziki

  1. 5

    Prepare Cucumber

    Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess water. This will help avoid a watery tzatziki.

  2. 6

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Pickle Mushrooms

  1. 7

    Prepare Brine

    In a saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and bring to a boil.

  2. 8

    Pickle Mushrooms

    Add mushrooms and garlic to the brine. Remove from heat and let it cool. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Roast Cauliflower

  1. 9

    Prepare Cauliflower

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 10

    Roast

    Spread cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and golden brown.

Assemble and Serve

  1. 11

    Serve

    Cut pita bread in half and fill with sliced chicken schnitzel, zhug, tzatziki, pickled mushrooms, and roasted cauliflower. Enjoy!
