HARISSA CHICKEN GYROS
Serves 3
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tbsp harissa paste
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 500g skinless, boneless chicken thighs salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 supermarket gyros, flatbreads or pittas handful of rocket
- 3 tbsp pomegranate seeds small handful of pickled red onions (shop-bought)
Sauce
- 5 heaped tbsp Greek yogurt
- juice of 1 lemon
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
METHOD
- Combine the harissa, lemon juice, paprika, Cajun seasoning, cumin and salt and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken with this mixture – if you can, preheat the air fryer for 2–3 minutes because adding the chicken to the hot drawer will give it an extra bit of char. Air-fry at 200°C for 12 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, combine the yogurt with the lemon juice and garlic.
- Heat the gyros or flatbreads and assemble, stuffing with the chicken and rocket and drizzling over the yogurt sauce,
then top with the pomegranate seeds and pickled red onions.
