Instructions

1

Cut the meat into bite-sized cubes or strips. Mix with the oil and spices.

Tip: Always cut meat across the grain so it is more tender when chewed.
2

Finely chop the onion and garlic, and mix into the meat.

Tip: The sulphur compounds in the onion caramelise during cooking, adding sweetness to the meat.
3

Fry the meat in a hot frying pan until browned, shaking occasionally.

Tip: High heat quickly seals the pores of the meat (though this is a myth, actually searing is important for flavour).
4

Warm the pitas. Serve the meat on the pita, generously poured over with yoghurt.

Tip: The proteins in the yoghurt coat the tongue, soothing the heat of the spices.
5

Sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Tip: Garnish and flavour in one.
