Early in 1997 Wendy's introduced its selection of cold "Fresh Stuffed" pita sandwiches -- a nice change of pace from the typical fast food fare. Basically what you're getting is a small salad wrapped in a warm pita bread. You might be saying to yourself "That doesn't sound like much for 3 bucks!" Then I would have to say, "Perhaps, but what if you could make a clone yourself for a mere fraction of that?" You would probably say, "Cool, man! Lay it on me." And then I would just say, "Already did."
Dressing
1/2 cup water
1/8 teaspoon dry, unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon finely minced red bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
dash parsley
dash oregano
dash thyme
dash basil
1 tablespoon grated Romano cheese
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons egg substitute
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt
pepper
6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1/4 cup red cabbage, shredded
1/4 cup carrot, shredded
4 pita breads
4 teaspoons shredded, fresh
parmesan
1. Make the
dressing by first dissolving the gelatin in the water.
Heat the mixture in the microwave on high for two minutes
or until it begins to rapidly boil. Add the vinegar, then
whisk while adding the oil. Add bell pepper, salt, garlic
powder, worcestershire, black pepper, parsley, oregano,
thyme and basil. Let dressing cool for about 15 minutes
before adding cheeses and egg substitute. Whisk until
slightly thicker, then chill. Overnight refrigeration
makes the dressing thicker.
2. Preheat a barbecue or indoor grill to medium heat.
Salt and pepper the chicken, then grill it for 5 minutes
per side, or until done. Remove chicken from the grill
and dice it.
3. While chicken cooks, prepare the salad by combining
the romaine lettuce, red cabbage and shredded carrot in a
large bowl and toss.
4. Prepare the sandwiches by first microwaving each pita
for 20 seconds.
5. Fold each pita in half like a taco, then add 1 to 1
1/2 cups of the romaine salad into the bread.
6. Add about 1/3 cup of diced chicken on top of the salad
in the pita.
7. Pour about a tablespoon of dressing over each
sandwich.
8. Sprinkle about a teaspoon of shredded fresh parmesan
on top of each one and serve.
