Ingredients:
For the Roasted Pork:
- 450 g (1 lb) boneless pork shoulder or pork loin, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Grilled Sausage:
- 4 pork or beef sausages (or plant-based sausage for a vegetarian option)
For the Tangy Slaw:
- 150 g (2 cups) shredded cabbage
- 50 g (1/2 cup) shredded carrots
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Pita Wrap:
- 4 pita breads or flatbreads
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
- 4 tbsp tzatziki sauce or garlic aioli (optional)
Method of Preparation:
- Marinate and cook the pork: In a bowl, mix together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the thinly sliced pork and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the pork slices for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and slightly caramelized. Set aside.
- Grill the sausage: Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium heat. Grill the sausages for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are nicely charred and cooked through. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- Prepare the slaw: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage and carrots. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss until evenly coated. Set aside.
- Warm the pita: Brush the pita or flatbread with olive oil and lightly warm them on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the Ronto Wraps: Lay a warm pita flat on a plate. Spread a spoonful of tzatziki sauce or garlic aioli (optional) down the center. Place a few slices of roasted pork on the pita, followed by one grilled sausage. Top with a generous scoop of tangy slaw. Roll or fold the pita around the filling, and your Ronto Wrap is ready to serve!
Culinary Tips for Success:
- Thinly slice the pork: Thin slices of pork cook quickly and caramelize nicely, adding flavor and texture to the wrap.
- Use a grill for extra flavor: Cooking the pork and sausages on a grill will give them a smoky flavor that enhances the overall taste of the wrap.
- Adjust the slaw to taste: For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the slaw dressing.
- Keep pita warm: To prevent the pita from cracking when wrapping, keep them warm and flexible. You can also wrap them in a clean towel after heating to retain softness.
- Make it vegetarian: Swap the pork and sausage for grilled veggies like eggplant and zucchini, or use your favorite plant-based sausage.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
