Mozza Pita-Calzone

If the kids like pizza, they're going to love Pita-Calzone. But our recipe is more nutritious than take-out, using pita breads and lots of fresh vegetables. And it's much more economical, too!

Ingredients

4 pita breads
8 tbsp (120 ml) tomato sauce
4 slices of ham, cut into small pieces
1 cup (250 mL) finely sliced Canadian Mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/2 red pepper, chopped
1/2 cup (125 mL) sliced mushrooms
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch of oregano

Directions

1. Finely slice all the vegetables.

2. Melt the butter in a skillet and lightly cook the vegetables (approximately 1 minute) until soft. Add a pinch of oregano, salt and pepper and mix well. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

3. Spread the tomato sauce over the pita breads. On the first half of each, spread the ham slices, the vegetables and the Mozzarella slices. Fold the other half across and hold in place with a toothpick. Serve cold or warm.
