Beef Pita

Herb Tip
Using Rosemary:
The leaves of the rosemary plant are available in both fresh and dried varieties and the stems make easy skewers that add a ton of flavor to shish-ka-bobs. Rosemary is an excellent herb to be used with beef, lamb, fish, poultry, stuffings, fruit cups, vegetables and marinades. Rosemary carries a very bold, piney and perfumy flavor so remember: A little goes a long way.

Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

Beef Pita

“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it."
Waverly Root (1903-1982)

Beef Pita Directions

Contributed to the echo by: Jean Hores Beef Pita, Greek Style

* Unsalted margarine, melted, can also be used. ** Phyllo Leaves are
Greek pastry and they should be defrosted.

Combine ground beef, onion and garlic in a large frying-pan; cook,
stirring frequently until beef loses pink color. Pour off drippings.
Add mushrooms, bay leaf, salt, chili powder, cumin powder, and
cinnamon; cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender about
5 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce and wine; cook, covered, 10 minutes,
stirring occasionally.

Remove bay leaf. Cool while preparing cheese filling. Combine egg and
cream cheese in medium bowl, beat with electric mixer until smooth.
Stir in cottage and feta cheeses and blend. Brush 13 x 9-inch baking
pan with melted butter. Line pan with 1 sheet of pastry, fitting
pastry to contour of pan. (Pastry will come up over edges of pan.)
Brush pastry with butter. Layer with 3 more pastry sheets, brushing
each with butter.

Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over top. Spoon 1/5 of meat filling in
layer over crumbs and 1/5 of the cheese filling over meat. Place 1
pastry sheet over cheese filling, crinkling to fit inside dimensions
of pan; brush with butter and layer with 1/5 of the meat and 1/5 to
the cheese fillings. Repeat with 3 more pastry sheets, crinkling
each, brushing with butter and topping with fillings. Turn bottom
pastry ends up over filling. Place remaining 8 pastry sheets smoothly
over top, brushing each with butter.

Using spatula, tuck top pastry sheets around inside edges of pan. With
sharp knife, score top lightly in half lengthwise and sixths
crosswise. (Do not cut through.) Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees
F.) 1 hour or until top is golden brown. Cool at least 10 minutes
before cutting along scored lines. Place a cherry tomato on each of
12 small wooden picks and insert pick in center of each serving.
Garnish with parsley. Garnish individual servings with fresh fruit
kabobs, if desired. FRESH FRUIT KABOBS: To make fresh fruit kabobs,
place chunks of fresh pineapple, cantaloupe, whole strawberries or
other fruits in season on small wooden skewers.

Servings: 12
