GRILLED PITAS WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES, AND FETA

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Stir tomatoes, olives, onion, 2 tablespoons oil, and mint in small bowl to blend.
• Brush 1 side of each pita with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; place pitas, oiled side down, on grill. Cook until lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Turn pitas over; top with tomato mixture, spreading almost to edges. Sprinkle with cheese.
• Cover barbecue and grill pitas until topping is warm, about 2 minutes. Transfer pitas to plates and serve.

GRILLED PITA CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high.
• Cut larger pitas into 8 wedges, smaller pitas into 6 wedges. Generously brush both sides of each wedge with oil. Sprinkle one side of each wedge with sesame seeds (if using).
• When ready to cook, arrange the pita wedges on the grill, turning with tongs, until nicely browned, 1-2 minutes each side. Place the wedges in a single layer on a tray, platter or rack and allow to cool. The wedges will crisp on cooling.

GRILLED PITA

Steps:

• Whisk 2 1/2 cups flour and the yeast, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Add the water and mix using a rubber spatula until the dough comes together. The dough should be a little sticky, but soft and able to hold its shape. Add up to 1/2 cup more flour, if needed. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until it's soft, smooth and elastic, 5 to 7 minutes. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer and knead until the dough becomes soft and elastic, about 5 minutes. The dough might be just a little sticky and that's okay.
• Place the dough in a clean bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Place in a draft-free area, such as a turned-off oven, until doubled in size, about 90 minutes.
• Gently deflate the dough by pressing it down with your hands. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide into 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and gently flatten. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a cast-iron griddle on an outdoor grill and heat it to medium high (450 degrees F) with the lid closed. Alternatively, you can use a large cast-iron skillet.
• Use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out 1 piece of dough into a round about 1/4-inch thick, flipping the dough a few times to prevent it from sticking. Meanwhile, keep the remaining pieces of dough covered with a kitchen towel. Transfer the rolled-out pitas to a baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining dough, stacking the rounds with a flour-dusted piece of parchment or wax paper between each round to prevent them from sticking.
• Brush the griddle lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle a little water on a rolled-out pita and place it on the griddle. You can cook 2 pitas at a time on a grill pan and 1 pita at a time on a cast-iron skillet. Close the grill and cook until there are small light brown spots on the pita, about 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Some of the pitas will puff up as they cook. Transfer to a platter and cover with a clean towel to prevent them from drying out. Repeat with the remaining rolled-out pitas. (It shouldn't be necessary to re-oil the griddle if it is well-seasoned.) Serve warm.

GRILLED PITA TRIANGLES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan or skillet over a medium-high flame. Brush both sides of each pita with olive oil. Heat 1 pita at a time in the grill pan or skillet, for about 2 minutes on each side, until it is nicely marked. Cut each pita into 6 wedges. Sprinkle with salt, to taste, and serve.

GRILLED CHICKEN CLUB PITAS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, honey, mustard and seasoning blend; set aside 3 tablespoons. Pour remaining mixture in a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Refrigerate reserved mayonnaise mixture until serving., Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°. Cut chicken into 1-in. strips., Spread reserved mayonnaise mixture over pita breads; top with the lettuce, chicken, bacon and cheese.

"EVERYTHING" PITA CHIPS

Steps:

• Tear pita pockets in half so you have 2 half circles. Cut each half circles into smaller triangles. (about 8 triangles each).
• Spray (or brush) a cooking sheet with olive oil. Place Pita triangles with the rough side up. Spray (or brush) each triangle with olive oil.
• Sprinkle the remaining ingredients on top of the the pita triangles. You can adjust measurements according to your taste.
• Bake at 350 for 5-7 minutes or until the bottom of the chips are browned. I like mine a little toastier so I turned the broiler on for a couple minutes and toasted the top side too.

GRILLED PITA CHIPS

The wedges will crisp on cooling.Makes 24 wedgesNote: For extra-crisp chips, separate each pita into two rounds by cutting it in half horizontally. Cut each round into wedges, brush on both sides with oil (you'll need more oil) and grill. This gives you a thinner and therefore crisper pita chip.

PITA CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Slice each pita in half to divide it into two flat disks. If that is too tedious, stack six of rounds, and simply cut off the edges; then repeat three times. Next, cut each disk into quarters, yielding 8 sections from each pita.
• Put the sections onto baking sheets, and bake them for 7 or 8 minutes, until toasted. Cool, then store in a tightly tied plastic bag until you are ready to use them.

GARLIC-OREGANO GRILLED PITA BREAD

• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure .
• Oil grill rack. Grill pitas, 3 at a time, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes total per batch. Transfer to a cutting board and brush both sides with garlic-oregano oil. Cut pitas into wedges. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Serve warm.

GRILLED CHICKEN PITA WITH YOGURT SAUCE AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper and rub with a little olive oil. Bring to room temperature.

When pan is hot, add chicken breasts, lower heat to medium and cook gently for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until firm to the touch. (To keep meat moist, do not overcook.) Set aside to rest and cool to room temperature, then slice crosswise at a diagonal.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together yogurt, olives, cucumber, mint, parsley, garlic, oregano, sumac and red-pepper flakes. Season with salt to taste.
