Portobella Mushroom and Roasted Red Pepper Wrap

This is another recipe inspired by Shipfeifers.  I am working from 11 year old memories, but I think I did a pretty good job.  I used a store bought flat bread which I purchased at Trader Joe's. 

Filling
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 portobella mushrooms, cleaned, stemmed and sliced
1 12- ounce jar of roasted red bell peppers, rinsed, drained and sliced
1 teaspoon sea salt

Toppings:
Feta Cheese
Feta Cheese dressing/dipping sauce

4-Flat bread, store bought or homemade

  1. Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds.  Add the mushrooms and cook until they begin to release their moisture.  Add the roasted red bell peppers and the salt.  Cook until all the flavors are combined and the mixture is thickened up a bit.
  2. Place a 1/4 of filling on your flat bread, top with feta cheese and the Feta Cheese dressing/dipping sauce. 
  3. Fold up and commence eating, but be careful this is a messy recipe.

Feta Cheese Dressing/Dipping Sauce


This recipe is very specifically inspired by a dressing/dipping sauce that was available at one of my favorite Atlanta restaurants, Shipfeifers.  Shipfeifers was a Middle Eastern/Mediterranean style restaurant on Peachtree Street. It offered a simple yet exotic assortment of Middle Easter?Mediterranean  fare.  They had a very large assortment of vegetarian items.  I have recently attempted to recreate some of our favorites.    The item above is based on their Feta Cheese dressing/dipping sauce.  Ordinarily I would include a link to the restaurant, but sadly Shipfeifers is no more.  Which is too bad as it was a great place. 

4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1 cup Greek Yogurt
2 tablespoons plain low fat Kefir
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
1 clove of garlic, minced
  1. Combine the above ingredients and chill until ready to serve.  Use a dressing or dipping sauce.  Enjoy!
