Chef's Note

Use pectin-rich ajvar as a smart moisture barrier to keep wraps from getting soggy.

Ingredients
  • 600 g leftover cooked cevapi-style lean ground beef

  • 150 g leftover cabbage slaw

  • 75 g ajvar spread

  • 3 pieces large pita bread

  • 1 head romaine lettuce

  • 10 g fresh flat-leaf parsley

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
  • 1

    Prepare the fresh produce: Wash 1 head of romaine lettuce, dry it thoroughly, and slice it into thin ribbons. Wash 10 g of fresh flat-leaf parsley, pat dry, and finely chop.

  • 2

    Slice 600 g of leftover cooked cevapi-style lean ground beef in half lengthwise to create flat surfaces that will crisp up beautifully.

  • 3

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and sear for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through and slightly crisped on the cut sides.

  • 4

    While the beef warms, heat 3 pieces of large pita bread in a dry skillet or toaster oven over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.

  • 5

    Spread 25 g of ajvar spread across the center of each warmed pita bread to create a flavorful moisture barrier.

  • 6

    Divide the sliced romaine lettuce and 150 g of leftover cabbage slaw evenly among the pitas, layering them directly over the ajvar.

  • 7

    Top the vegetables with the warm, crisped cevapi-style beef, sprinkle with the chopped parsley, then fold the sides of the pita in and roll tightly to serve.
