Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Mix the spices with the oil, season, then rub all over the pork. Heat a large ovenproof frying pan to high and cook the pork, turning, for 5 mins. Transfer to the oven and cook for 15-20 mins until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, make the guacamole. Mash the avocado flesh with the spring onions, chopped coriander leaves, kidney beans, cherry tomatoes and lime juice. Season to taste.
- Split the pitta breads, cut into triangles and put on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for the last 5 mins of the pork’s cooking time, until crisp. Remove both the pitta and the pork from the oven. Set the pork aside to rest for 5 mins before slicing evenly.
- Spoon the guacamole onto plates and top with the sliced pork and pitta chips. Garnish with the reserved coriander.
- Tip: Sprinkle ½ tsp smoked paprika onto the pitta chips before baking for a spicy flavour boost.
