Cooking Steps

Bake the fries
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. 
• Cut potato into fries.
• Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss 
to coat.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays. 

Cook the pulled pork
2

• When fries have 10 minutes remaining, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of 
olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook pulled pork, stirring, 1-2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, then stir in BBQ sauce, baby spinach leaves and the 
water until combined and heated through, 1-2 minutes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.


TIP: Add a splash more water if the filling looks dry!
TIP: Seasoning is key in this dish, so taste and season with more salt and pepper
if needed.

Toast the pita pockets

• Halve pita bread and fill with BBQ pulled pork and Cheddar cheese.
