Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until soft and translucent, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Caramelise until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Season.
DINNER’S ALMOST DONE
Place a clean pan over medium heat. When hot, warm the pita until heated through and lightly toasted, 30-60 seconds per side. Cut the heated pita in half and open each half to form a pocket.

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