Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled tofu, diced bell peppers, diced pumpkin, cumin powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure everything is mixed thoroughly.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the tofu mixture and sauté for about 8-10 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and the tofu gets a slight golden color. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In another bowl, mix the yogurt and chopped mint together. Season with salt to taste.
- Warm the pitas in the oven or on a skillet for about 2-3 minutes until they are soft and pliable.
- Carefully cut each pita in half and gently open the pockets. Fill each pita with the tofu and bell pepper mixture, then drizzle generously with the mint yogurt sauce.
- Serve on a plate with a simple side salad and a spoon of plain yogurt for dipping. Enjoy while warm!
