{"id":2751,"slug":"quorn-pitta","title":"Quorn Pitta","description":"Dubbed the \"VDP QE Quornpitta\", this pitta is prepared with Quorn and is suitable for vegetarians. The contributing author noted the following anecdote:I first came up to the idea of the pitta as I found that chopped-up Quorn pieces available from supermarkets taste (after microwaving without additives) quite bad. After adding ketchup, it tasted way better, so I started thinking and experimenting and finally came up with blending tomato paste, vinegar, garlic and some red peppers (similar to a regular taco-mix). This sauce I made is however not made with sugar and not greasy (unlike ketchup). I added the whole in a pitta, as this is widely available (you may use other oven-baked breads too). As certain nutritionist organisations have their own version of pitta too to include in their diets, and as the ingredients used here are even better in quality.","ingredients_raw":["1–1½ teaspoons red pepper flakes","1 can (240 g) tomato paste (double concentrate)","2 shallots or 1 large onion, minced","¼ teaspoon garlic powder","4 tablespoons white vinegar","1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)","½ teaspoon dried oregano or several stalks of fresh oregano (or to taste)","1 teaspoon ground cumin (or to taste)","1 teaspoon of ground black cardamom","Pita bread","Quorn"],"ingredients_norm":["red pepper flake","tomato paste","shallots or large onion","garlic powder","white vinegar","salt","dried oregano or several stalks of fresh oregano","ground cumin","ground black cardamom","pita bread","quorn"],"steps":["Combine the ingredients for the sauce, and make sure it's completely smooth.","Microwave the sauce for 2 minutes.
