1tbsp dried mint, 1tbsp dried oregano

1 tbsp dried rosemary

3 cloves garlic, crushed

480g pack Butcher’s Selection 4 Pork Loin Steaks

1kg Maris Piper potatoes, cut into chips

1 red onion, thinly sliced

3 Dina Large White Bread Wraps

1 Baby Gem lettuce, leaves separated

12 cherry tomatoes, halved

4 radishes, sliced

100ml white wine vinegar

1 large cucumber, halved

250g Asda Fat Free Greek Style Yogurt

1tbsp chopped mint

1tbsp chopped dill

Zest and juice ½ lemon

1 clove garlic, crushed

Method

1
In a nonmetallic bowl, whisk together a tablespoon of olive oil, the orange juice and zest, dried mint, dried oregano, a tablespoon of dried rosemary and 3 cloves of the garlic. Rub this mix into the pork and marinate in the fridge overnight.
2
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
3
Wash the potatoes, rinse and pat dry. Toss with a tablespoon of olive oil, a tablespoon of dried rosemary on a nonstick baking tray, and season with pepper. Bake for 45-50 mins until crisp and cooked through.
4
Meanwhile, stir the onion into the vinegar and set aside to pickle for at least 20 mins, or until the vinegar is bright pink. Drain.
5
For the tzatziki, cube and set aside half of the cucumber. Grate the rest over a sieve, squeezing out as much liquid as you can and fold through the yogurt with the chopped mint, dill, lemon juice and zest and a clove of garlic, crushed. Season with black pepper.
6
Heat a griddle pan over a high setting until it starts to smoke. Fry the pork in batches for 3-4 mins each side until cooked through with char lines. Rest on a plate for 10 mins, then slice.
7
Wipe the griddle pan. Dry-fry 3 the wraps until toasted with char lines, then halve.
8
Divide the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, pork, potato chips, tzatziki, pickled onions, and radishes, sliced, plus extra mint and dill between the wraps, leaving a 3cm border on the straight side. Fold this upwards, then fold the sides in, to form a cornet shape. Wrap the bottom half with baking paper, then secure with string. Serve immediately.
