Method

  1. To make the yoghurt sauce, mix the yoghurt with the dried mint, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  2. Put the pittas in the oven to warm for 5 minutes.
  3. To make the 'doner,' heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and dry-fry for 2 minutes, stirring once or twice. Add the garlic oil, paprika, coriander, celery salt, garlic granules and black pepper and quickly coat the mushrooms. Add 2–3 tablespoons of water to the pan and stir-fry for 1 minute before removing from the heat.
  4. Split the warmed pitta breads. Spoon a little white cabbage into each pitta and add a little tomato and onion. Divide the mushrooms between the pittas, add a little more cabbage and tomato, then drizzle with the chilli and yoghurt sauces. Serve immediately, topped with the pickled chillies, if using.

Notes

Rose Harissa: Chilli pesto which contains dried rose petals, and, usually, rosewater too. This softens the heat of the chillies and adds a rich, complex, floral undertone.
