Vegetable Pita Sandwich

Ingredients:
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup cauliflower florets
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup sliced celery
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
2 teaspoons dried savory
Four large pita breads
1 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese

Directions:
Chop broccoli and cauliflower into small pieces. Combine broccoli, cauliflower and carrots and steam until crisp-tender. Add celery, mushrooms, onion and savory and mix well. Steam a couple more minutes until celery and mushrooms are soft. Cut the pita breads in half and gently separate the sides. Divide the vegetable mixture and cheese evenly between the pita halves.

Spray a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat until hot. Place the filled pita breads in the skillet being careful to keep vegetables and cheese from falling out. Heat until cheese melts and pita breads begin to get crisp.

You can also omit the savory and use different herbs or stir-fry the vegetables in your favorite sauce.

Recipe makes four servings; two stuffed pita halves each.
