RELISH
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced Onion until soft and caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add a knob of butter, the apricot jam, a pinch of lemon zest, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Mix to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan, add the chopped apricots, and season.
MINCE
Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the NOMU rub and the grated garlic, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
TOAST
Place a clean pan over medium heat. When hot, toast the pita until heated through, 30-60 seconds per side. Alternatively, place it on a plate and heat up in the microwave, 30-60 seconds. Cut in half to form a pocket.
Carrot SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the grated carrot, the Cucumber matchsticks, the picked mint, a squeeze of lemon juice, and seasoning.
TIME TO EAT
Smear the pita pockets with the Tzatziki and fill with the flavourful mince, the apricot relish, and the carrot salad. Serve any remaining filling on the side. Enjoy, Chef!
