  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 3 ripe Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 3 ounces pre-washed spinach, chopped coarsely

  • 1/3 cup pitted, chopped Greek olives (about 15)
  • 4 pita bread rounds, cut in half
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

Method

  • Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium high heat, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink. Stir in garlic and oregano; cover and cook 1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in ricotta and lemon juice. In a separate bowl, combine tomatoes, spinach, feta cheese, olives and optional black pepper; stir well.
