Hi, it's Alexa Weibel from New York Times Cooking.
We've got tons of easy weeknight recipes,
and today I'm making my vegetarian mushroom shawarma pitas.
This recipe is just built for efficiency.
You toss your mushrooms and red onion in your spices, throw them in the oven.
By the time they're done, you've chopped your cabbage, and you're ready to assemble.
It feels crazy that this takes just 20 minutes of active time.
It's just delicious.

Today,
President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are meeting on U.S. soil for the first time in Anchorage,
Alaska.
They'll be discussing an end to the war in Ukraine.
And I spoke to my colleague David Sanger about the wide range of possible outcomes.
And why, no matter what happens, the meeting is a win for Putin.
It's Friday, August 15th.
David, thank you for joining us from Alaska.
Are you going to get any fishing done while you're there?
