Crunchy Pea Yogurt Wraps
Crushed peas and yogurt make a cool filling for pita, with grated carrot providing the crunch. It is a lunch that asks for a little cooking and draining before assembly, rather than putting frozen peas straight into the bread. Keep the filling fairly thick and eat soon after stuffing so the pita can still hold its shape.
