Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then place them on a clean tea towel and rub them dry lightly.

Marinate chickpeas (including the loose skins) in a bowl with oil and the spice mix, spread them on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven at 200°C for 20 to 25 minutes until crispy.

Slice the halloumi and fry it in a pan with a little oil for three to four minutes on each side.

Wash and spin-dry the arugula. Dice the cucumber and quarter the tomatoes.

Toast the pita bread, carefully cut open the edges, and spread a little hummus inside each hollowed-out pita. Then distribute halloumi, vegetables, and chickpeas between the two pita pockets and drizzle with a little lime juice.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Halloumi Searing Technique 🧀
Pat halloumi slices completely dry before grilling to achieve a perfect golden-brown crust and prevent sticking.
Crispy Chickpea Pro Tip 🥣
Thoroughly dry chickpeas and toss with oil and gyro seasoning, then roast at high heat to ensure maximum crunchiness.
Pita Pocket Prep Magic 🫓
Warm pita breads briefly in a skillet or microwave to make them more pliable and prevent tearing when stuffing.
Fresh Vegetable Layering 🥒
Layer cucumber and tomatoes close to serving time to maintain their crisp texture and prevent soggy pockets.
Flavor Boost Technique 🌶️
Drizzle fresh lime juice just before serving to brighten all the ingredients and add a zesty Mediterranean touch.
