The Pita Potluck
Foolproof Food For Part-Time Cooks
How to throw a party in no time — I mean, literally no time. Update the potluck. You supply the place and ask your single friends to bring the dinner. For perfect results, plan a menu of foolproof food that’s both quick and inexpensive. Here is a party meal that’s so easy to prepare a busy bachelor, male or female, can throw together any of the dishes in record time. The deliciously different entree is Beef Souvlakia stuffed into pocket shaped pita bread. This pancake shaped bread. Middle Eastern in origin, has become so popular that it’s now available in most supermarkets. Slit with a knife to form a pocket. Stuff with beef stew meat which has been cooked with onions, green peppers and flavorful Contadina tomato paste and seasonings. Garnish as directed and serve with a flourish. These hot sandwiches really qualify as festive party fare! Along with the pita sandwiches, serve a raw vegetable platter. It helps to balance the meal nutritionally, and the crunchy texture provides a welcome contrast. For a glorious finale assign Cherry Cream Tarts to any of your friends. Baking expertise isn’t necessary. With the help of a commercial piecrust mix, this extravaganza is much easier than it looks, and much lower in calories than it looks too, thanks to the use of instant nonfat dry milk crystals in lieu of cream.
