MOUTHWATERING MINCE
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Add the sliced onions and the peppers. Fry until lightly charred, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the NOMU rub, the Tomato paste, and fry until fragrant, 2-3 minutes.
A LITTLE BIT SAUCY
Add 50ml of water to the pan and simmer until thickening, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season.
SOME PREP
In a bowl, combine the diced Cucumber, the vinegar, and season. Drain the liquid before serving. 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 into quarters.
DINNER IS READY
Bowl up the loaded mince. Scatter over the drained sun-dried tomatoes, the chopped olives, the Cucumber, and the torn basil. Serve alongside the pita quarters. Enjoy, Chef!
