PITA PARTY
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the pita bread on a roasting tray and pop in the hot oven until heated through and softened, 1-3 minutes. Halve the heated pita.
CRAZY CABBAGE
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced cabbage until slightly softened, 3-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Season.
PITA POCKETS
In a bowl, combine the mince, ½ the sautéed cabbage, ½ the diced onion, the chopped parsley, the NOMU spice mix, the tahini, and seasoning. Divide into 2 portions and stuff each portion into the pita halves, gently pressing to flatten. Lightly brush the pita halves with olive oil. Place on a baking tray and bake in the hot oven until browned and cooked through, 8-12 minutes (flipping halfway).
LET’S SALSA
