  1. Now, I must say that these pita wraps left us hoping for a lot more flavor. For the spice mix I used the ras-el-hanout recipe by chia, used by previous viewer as well, and that was good. It just wasn't enough to spice this whole wrap up, maybe it should have been doubled? The tahini sauce was fine, but everything put together was all too bland. Sorry.
     
  2. Very good and easy! I used plain leaf lettuce for the greens and used a spice mix I got at a local middle eastern bakery. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. I halved the recipe and I couldn't get the Greek yogurt so I finally substituted 2 parts plain yogurt and 1 part sour cream. For the Moroccan spice mix, I used chia's ras-el-hanout Recipe #87818, which I keep on hand. My grocery doesn't carry Parisienne greens, so I used baby spring greens, which hopefully were not too much different. This was intensely flavorful and delicious and I'll be keeping it in mind for lunches in the future.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority! <br> <br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
