Onion Pita

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the sliced onions with a pinch of salt. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn golden brown and caramelize.

   Tip: Low and slow cooking brings out the natural sweetness of the onions.

2. 2

   Add minced garlic and fresh thyme to the caramelized onions and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

3. 3

   Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for 1 minute to reduce slightly. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.

   Tip: The vinegar adds a subtle tangy depth to balance the sweetness.

4. 4

   Preheat your oven to 200°C. Place the pita breads on a baking tray and warm them for 3-4 minutes until soft and pliable.

5. 5

   Divide the caramelized onion mixture evenly among the warm pitas, spooning it onto the center of each bread.

   Tip: You can fold the pitas in half or leave them flat depending on your preference.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the onion topping on each pita.

7. 7

   Return the topped pitas to the oven for 3-4 minutes until the cheese warms and softens slightly.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately while warm.

   Tip: A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil before serving adds richness.
