Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.

Halve the potatoes lengthways, quartering any larger pieces, and pop them onto a lined baking tray. Toss with a drizzle of oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay them cut-side down on the baking tray. Roast on the middle shelf of the oven until fork tender, 25-35 mins.

Pickle the Onion
2

Pop the garlic (unpeeled) into a small piece of foil with a drizzle of oil and scrunch to enclose it.  Place next to the potatoes and roast for 20-25 mins.
Halve the onion. Peel and thinly slice half (double for 4p). 
Mix the sliced onion, red wine vinegar, a drizzle of salt, pepper, ½ tsp sugar (double for 4p) and a splash of water in a bowl. Leave to pickle, tossing every once in a while.


Make the Salad
3

Meanwhile, halve and thinly slice the tomato.
Trim the baby gem, halve lengthways and thinly slice.

Just before serving, toss the baby gem and chopped tomatoes with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper.

Fry the Beef
4

Place a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, add the beef strips and season with middle-eastern spice mix, salt and pepper.

Fry until browned, 2-3 mins, shifting as they colour. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat and its packaging. Meat is safe to eat when the outside is browned.


Warm the Pitas
5

Slice the pita in half and carefully open the pockets. Pop the pita into the oven to warm, 1-2 mins.

Once the garlic has cooled, cut the end with scissors, squeeze it out of the skin and mash with a fork.
Mix the roasted garlic with the yoghurt and season to taste with salt and pepper.

TIP: Warm the pitas in the toaster if you prefer.

6

Serve the salad, pickled onion and beef strips in different bowls so everyone can assemble their pitas at the table.
Finish each with a generous dollop of garlic yoghurt.
Serve the roasted potatoes alongside.
