Ingredients

  • 1 large packet of vegan mince Approx 340g
  • 1 onion finely diced
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste Or 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 2 tsp salt 
  • Around 4-6 medium-sized pita bread loaves

Instructions

  • If baking in the oven preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • In a deep bowl combine the vegan mince, chopped onion, garlic paste, tomato paste, all the spices, chopped parsley and salt. Mix well.
  • Carefully open each pita to create a pocket. Spoon in a generous amount of the vegan mince filling and gently press it flat. You want it filled but not overstuffed—too much and the pita might tear.
  • Brush each stuffed with oil on both sides. Wrap each sandwich individually with aluminium foil.
  • If cooking in an air fryer- select the 'bake/roast' mode, set the temperature to 190℃ and bake for around 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway. If cooking in the oven, cook for around 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway. Cook until the pita is golden brown and crisp on both sides and the vegan mince appears cooked well.
  • Serve hot with tahini dressing! Enjoy!
