Ingredients

• Whole wheat pita bread - 2 pieces
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Mushrooms (button or cremini) - 200 grams, sliced
• Red onion - 1 small, thinly sliced

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms and red onion to the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the onions are translucent.
