  1. ROOTING FOR YOU

    In a bowl, combine the julienne carrot, the lemon juice, ½ the chopped mint, a sweetener of choice (to taste), and seasoning. Set aside.

  2. GO FOR THE YOGHURT

    In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt, the harissa paste (to taste), and seasoning. Loosen with water at 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside.

  3. MAKE MINCEMEAT OF THIS RECIPE

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and fry for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Caramelise for 3-4 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Season to taste.

  4. IN A NUTSHELL

    While the mince is frying, place the slivered almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  5. DINNER’S ALMOST DONE

    Return the pan to a medium heat. When hot, warm the pita for 30-60 seconds per side until heated through and lightly toasted. Cut the heated pita in half and open each half to form a pocket.

  6. STUFFED FULL OF DELICIOUSNESS

    Stuff each pita pocket with some of the carrot slaw, the shredded green leaves, the tomato rounds, the drained feta, the toasted almond slivers, and the mince. Drizzle over the harissa yoghurt. Serve any remaining filling on the side. Garnish with the remaining mint. Enjoy!
