Step 1

Drain both jackfruit tins. Cut the firm, pointy ends off each triangular piece of jackfruit (you can still use them if you wish, I don't). Set aside.

Step 2

Heat up olive oil in a medium, heavy-bottomed, pan. Fry diced red onion until softened, translucent and lightly caramelised. Add chopped garlic and fry off gently until soft and fragrant.

Step 3

Add most of the spices: cloves, cinnamon, cumin, and oregano to the onion-garlic mixture. Fry them off gently, stirring the whole time, for a minute or so.

Step 4

Mix in the tomato paste.

Step 5

Now add in the prepared jackfruit along with soy sauce, maple syrup and apple cider vinegar. Mix everything really well. Squash the jackfruit pieces with your mixing spoon so that the individual fibres separate more. Season with white pepper and a pinch of ground chilli if you wish. Simmer the mixture gently for another 10-15 minutes and then allow it to cool down. Place in the fridge overnight to intensify the flavour.

Step 6

Just before you are ready to assemble your gyros, set the oven to 200° C / 390° F (fan function). Spread the jackfruit pieces on a baking paper-lined baking tray and bake for about 20-25 minutes, until a little caramelised and browned around the edges.

Step 7

Heat the oven to 200° C / 390° F (fan function) and line a baking tray with a piece of baking paper.

Step 8

Scrub potatoes well (or peel them) and cut them into thick matchsticks of similar size.

Step 9

Coat them in olive oil (about 1 tbsp) and spread them on a baking tray, making sure they don't overlap.

Step 10

Bake for about 30 minutes (until browned in places), flipping them to the other side half way through.

Step 11

Season with fine sea salt and dried oregano.

Step 12

Just before serving, warm pitas up in a low oven.

Step 13

Place warmed-up pitas on a work surface, fluffier side down.

Step 14

Fill with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion, baked jackfruit pork and warm potato fries.

Step 15

Gently fold the pitas over the filling, wrap in a piece of paper and tie with a string. Serve with a generous dollop of tzatziki.
