Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Brush the oil over a 1kg loaf tin.
  2. Tip the mince into a large bowl, add the garlic, spices and seasoning and mix with your hands until smooth. Press into the loaf tin and bake for 20 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
  3. Meanwhile, warm the pittas in the oven for 5 minutes.
  4. Turn the meat out of the tin and slice the kebab lengthways into thin strips. Open up each pitta to create a pocket and pile in the salad ingredients and meat. Add chilli sauce and yoghurt, plus pickled chillies if using.
