Instructions
- Add your pork to a mixing bowl and add all the seasonings, plus the lemon juice and oil. Stir through until the pork pieces are fully coated. Leave to marinade if you have time.
- Tip the pork into your air fryer drawer and air fryer at 200ºc for 9-11 mins or until cooked through.
- In the meantime, toast your flatbreads according to packet instructions and prep the flatbread toppings of your choice. We like to spread hummus on the flat breads, and then everyone piles on their favourite toppings, finishing with the Tzatziki.
Notes
MAKING A SPICE MIX to keep for the next 6-12 months, use 4 times the amount of the herbs, spices, salt and black pepper and store in an air tight container or jar. When you come to cook, shake the container well and use 2 tablespoons of the spice mix per 500g / 1.1lb of pork and 1 tblsp each of lemon juice and olive oil.
Baby & Toddler
Omit the salt, remove their pork then add salt and toss it through the rest. Make sure you have a way of keeping track of their pork pieces through the cooking process. If sharing with babies under 9 months, use a pack of stir-fry pork (already cut into finger-size strips) instead of diced pork. The pork will cook quicker though so I would check it at 7 minutes. If you can’t get pre-sliced stir fry pork, buy pork loins and slice them into strips.
6-8 months - Serve the pork strips (as above) along with strips of flatbread and salad vegetables cut appropriately for their age and stage.
9-12 month - Can serve the same way as for 6-8 months, or can shred the diced pork into bite-size shreds. Again serve with flatbread strips or cut into quarters and salad veggies prepared for their age and stage.
Toddlers - Chop the pork into bite-size pieces, serving with flatbread cut into finger size strips or quarters. Serve with bite-size salad veggies.
