Cooking Steps

Bake the wedges
1
  • Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut potato into wedges.
  • Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with crispy seasoning, season with salt and toss to coat.
  • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. 

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

Char the pineapple & caramelise the onion
2
  • Meanwhile, drain pineapple slices. Thinly slice brown onion.
  • Roughly chop mild chorizo.
  • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook pineapple slices until lightly charred, 2-3 minutes each side. Transfer to a chopping board and roughly chop.
  • Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chorizo until golden, 4-6 minutes. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Cook onion, stirring regularly until softened, 5-6 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and a good splash of water and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
Toast the pita pocket
3
  • When fries have 5 minutes remaining, microwave pita bread on a plate for 1 minute, until warmed through.
  • Halve pita bread and spread with smokey aioli.
  • Fill with mixed salad leaves, sliced cooked chorizo, charred pineapple, caramelised onions and Cheddar cheese.
  • Heat pita pocket in a sandwich press for 2-3 minutes, until warmed through and cheese has melted.
Finish & serve

  • Divide cheesy chorizo and pineapple pita pockets and wedges between plates. Enjoy!
