Instructions

Step 1

Step 1 Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). In a bowl, mix Beyond Burger, pine nuts, onion, garlic, harissa, spice mix, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Step 2 Lightly toast the pitas until they puff, then cut in half into half-moons and stuff with the burger mixture. Brush with olive oil. Grill first with the opening facing down to seal, then on both sides until golden with grill marks. Cut halves into quarters and briefly grill on the cut side. Transfer to the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Step 3 For the tahini tomato and lemon sauce, combine grape tomatoes, chili pepper, parsley, and scallion. Season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. In a separate bowl, whisk tahini with lemon juice, adding water gradually until creamy and pourable. Adjust seasoning. Pour tahini onto a deep plate and top with tomato mixture.

Step 4

Step 4 For the Israeli salad, combine cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, green bell pepper, and parsley. Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well.

Step 5
