California Lavash, Lavash, Naan, and Pita offerings, Winter Fancy Food Show 2019
Hi, I'm Lilea Eshoo. I'm COO at California Lavash. Hi, I'm Inanna Eshoo and I'm the Foodservice Director at California Lavash. So here at the show we have our four Lavash items; so the Traditional Lavash, which is our Great Grandmother's recipe, and then we have our Whole Grain, Spinach, and Garlic & Herb. And we're from Gilroy, so we had to put a lot of Gilroy garlic inside our Garlic & Herb Lavash. And then we have our Naan bread—so Traditional, Whole Grain, and again Garlic with Gilroy garlic. And then our two newest items, our Pita; so, really thin, all crust, Lebanese style—traditional and Whole Grain Pita breads. One thing we pride ourselves on, is that all our ingredients are pronounceable, and we like to keep our breads as simple as possible—true to their traditional recipes. We're a family bakery. Our dad actually started tinkering and making Lavash in the garage back in ’92, so we've been baking flatbreads here in the Bay Area since then. And we work with our brother everyday. Our bosses are our parents and somehow the whole family is on speaking terms, and we love what we do. We like bringing our culture's bread to people, and we hope you like it too.

Makes around 12 Pita Pockets.

Half of One Yellow Bell Pepper
Half of One Red Bell Pepper

2.To make the vinaigrette, take a quarter of the avocado you sliced and put them in a bowl and mash them. Then, add two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to the avocado, along with all of the balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, mustard, a honey, everything bagel seasoning, orange and lime zest to taste, the lime juice, and the dehydrated chopped onion. Mix this thoroughly while gradually adding a tablespoon of oil. Then, add salt and black pepper to taste, mix again, and the vinaigrette is ready!
3.To make the yogurt based dressing, add the yogurt to the bowl, along with all of the measured ingredients, and mix well. It’s as easy as that!
4.To assemble a pita pocket, add all of the veggies you chopped for the filling to half a pita pocket, along with some crushed pecans and the cranberries. Choose either or both of the dressings to add as liberally as you would like.
