INSTRUCTIONS
For the Pita Bread:
- 1 Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
- 2 Knead for about 20 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- 3 Shape the dough into a ball and place it back in the bowl, covered with a cloth. Let it rise for about 1 hour, until it doubles in size.
- 4 Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
- 5 Dust the work surface and the rolling pin with flour and roll each ball into thin round discs.
- 6 Once the discs are stretched, place them on baking paper, cover with a cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.
- 7 Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat. Cook each disc one at a time for about 30 seconds (or until bubbles appear), then flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat for all discs. Set aside.
For the Filling:
- 1 In a bowl, combine the shredded jackfruit (or mushrooms, depending on your choice) with all the spices and mix thoroughly.
- 2 Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan and add the seasoned jackfruit/mushrooms, cooking for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 3 While the jackfruit/mushrooms cook, prepare the sauce by mixing the vegan mayonnaise with a drizzle of sriracha to taste.
- 4 Finally, assemble the kebab – spread the sauce on the pita, add the carrot, lettuce, jackfruit/mushrooms, and finish with crispy onion. Fold the pita and serve.
- 5 You can serve it with homemade fries cooked in an air fryer, for example.
For Air Fryer Potatoes:
- 1 Cut the potatoes into sticks and rinse under cold water.
- 2 Pat the potatoes dry, place them in a bowl, toss with olive oil and salt. Then air-fry for 12 minutes at 190 °C, shaking halfway through.
