Made a kick ass spinach & feta pita thing last night!
Very simple.

1 small onion, chunks
2 cloves of garlic, small chunks, not chopped
8 oz shitake mushrooms, sliced bite size (crimini would be fine as well)
8 oz crumbled feta
Enough fresh spinach to fill a huge colander (big bunch of baby spinach is what I used, but a prepackaged bag will do)
3 or 4 pitas

Heat oven to 350. Cut the pitas around the edges so you can peel it completely apart into two sides. Just pull off the stems of the spinach. Don't bother shredding it. You need a large frying pan with a lid. Saute the onions and garlic in olive oil (4"-5" puddle) until soft, then add the mushrooms and do the same. Wash the spinach again so it is wet and add it to the frying pan and cover it. Keep the heat fairly high so the spinach will steam. Stir it once in a while. When the spinach is soft, transfer it to a large bowl and stir. Drain it through the colander and return to bowl. Use a knife and fork to shred the spinach and drain again as needed. Most of the water needs to come out, but not all of it. Then add the feta and stir. Divide among the pitas (on a large baking sheet), spread it out, cap them, and bake for 15 minutes. Enjoy.

1. That sounds good.
I love that kind of food. :9

I'm a big fan of Mediterranean flavors, and anything without meat is great.
