These are stunning and make lunchtime extra special, inspired by a version I had at a street food festival. They’re so quick to make that they also work really well for dinner, especially if you’re having friends round. They look so good that people will think you’ve spent ages cooking but the reality is, it’s all done in 15 minutes.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Combine the harissa, lemon juice, paprika, Cajun seasoning, cumin and salt and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken with this mixture – if you can, preheat the air fryer for 2–3 minutes because adding the chicken to the hot drawer will give it an extra bit of char. Air-fry at 200°C for 12 minutes.

Step 2

While the chicken is cooking, combine the yoghurt with the lemon juice and garlic.

Step 3

Heat the gyros or flatbreads and assemble, stuffing with the chicken and rocket and drizzling over the yoghurt sauce, then top with the pomegranate seeds and pickled red onions.
