Method
Preheat the oven to 210 °C. Cut the potatoes2 into wedges, toss with 5 ml oil and 1 g salt, and roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and tender in the center.
Slice the pork1 thinly and mix with the paprika, oregano, juice of half a lemon9, 1 g salt, pepper, and 5 ml oil.
Sear the pork1 over high heat for 6–8 minutes until the edges are browned and the meat is cooked through.
Grate half the cucumber3, squeeze out the juice, and mix with the yogurt, minced garlic7, 2 ml oil, and 1 g salt.
Slice the remaining cucumber3, tomato4, and red5 onion thinly, and cut the pita8 into pieces.
Arrange the potatoes2 as the base in a bowl, then add the pork1, cucumber3, tomato4, onion, and pita8 in sections.
Add the tzatziki and serve with the remaining lemon9 wedge.
Tips
- Why it works
- Slice the pork thin and fry it over high heat so it cooks evenly and doesn't turn tough. A pink center means it's undercooked.
- Substitutions
- Swap the yogurt for 50 g sour cream. It will be thicker but less tangy. Replace the red onion with green onion cut into half rings.
- Common mistakes
- The potatoes are overdone if the crust burns black while the inside stays raw. Check with a toothpick.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 2 minutes with the plate covered. Make the tzatziki fresh.
- Serve with
- Serve with cold beer or a piece of feta if you want extra saltiness.
