SWEET & STICKY CHICKEN BALL PITA POCKETS

- METHOD -

Soak the bread in the milk, then use a fork to lightly combine it with the mince, spring onions, lemon zest and Cape Herb & Spice Sweet & Sticky Shaker Seasoning. Scoop out tablespoon measures of the mince mix and roll to form small meatballs. Shallow fry the meatballs over medium heat in cooking oil of your choice until cooked through and golden. Combine the yoghurt with a pinch of salt and the garlic. Slice toasted pita breads in half and pack with frilly lettuce, warm meatballs, any other vegetables of your choice and top with the yoghurt drizzle.

* Another quick and easy idea for your Sweet & Sticky Chicken Shaker Seasoning:

For a light lunch or starter, slice nectarines in half, brush with olive oil and dust over Sweet & Sticky Chicken Shaker Seasoning. Place cut side down in a hot griddle pan and fry just until you have caramelized lines. Serve the nectarines with finely sliced prosciutto crudo ham on a bed of rocket, watercress and baby butter lettuce lightly dressed with simple vinaigrette.
