What you need Some good quality beef, lamb or chicken suya (any one you prefer. You
can make yours at home (see recipe here) or you can get some from your favourite mai suya)
A couple of flat bread, either tortilla wraps or pita bread. (You can now purchase square rather than circular wraps, which are easier for wrapping)
Finely shredded cabbage (make it a combination of red and white cabbage if possible. The colour contrast is fab)

Finely shredded cabbage (make it a combination of red and white cabbage if possible. The colour contrast is fab)
Finely shredded iceberg lettuce
Finely shredded onion
Finely sliced tomatoes
Finely sliced sliced cucumber
Olive oil
Peanut butter (optional, but I find its a good replacement for tahini paste)
Salad cream. (Some people prefer salad cream to mayonnaise. I use either
depending on which is available at the time.)
Some lemon juice
Finely shredded onion
Finely sliced tomatoes
Finely sliced sliced cucumber
Olive oil
Peanut butter (optional, but I find its a good replacement for tahini paste)

Some lemon juice
What to do
1. First prep your salad leaves by rinsing
under tap water and finely slicing/ shredding about the same size of the
sliced meat.

2. Then in a separate bowl, add a dash of lemon juice to the cabbage. This will help to soften it a bit and make them easier to bite and chew.
3. Toss the shredded cabbage around in the lemon juice for even distribution. Allow to tenderise for a little while then transfer into another bowl.
4. Add the remaining sliced vegetables (cucumber, lettuce, tomatoes and onions). Add a generous amount of salad
cream (as you prefer).

7. Heat up the flat bread for about 10 seconds each in a microwave (or you can heat it up using a non stick frying pan). Take proportionate quantities of the meat slices and the salad, place onto theflat bread and roll. Serve.
