Ceviche Pita Sandwich

20 min

If there are two things that I LOVE, they have to be freshly baked pita and raw fish. I feel like here in the US, raw fish is usually served Japanese-style, simple with a sauce, maybe one topping. I love using raw fish as an ingredient for many things: salads, toasts, sandwiches, and many more dishes. And as I'm obsessed with pita sandwiches recently, I made my pita breads again but mini-sized, so you can have more than one. These mini pitas use my classic pita recipe, just divided into smaller pieces of dough. Once baked, I cut them open, spread a nice layer of labneh cheese, and stuff them with ceviche. The result is an unbelievable bite that I wish I could get when eating out.

Step 7

Cut the top of your pita, spread labaneh cheese and stuff with the ceviche. I'm using here my classic pita recipe, just instead of dividing the dough into 100 gr pieces, I do for 75-80 gr. If you are using a store bought pita, you can simply cut them in half and fill up.
