Preparation
Prepare the skewers

- In a medium bowl, combine the beef, spices, ⅓ of the ginger-garlic purée and S&P.

Make the slaw
- Meanwhile, pick the mint leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves.
- In a second medium bowl, combine the carrots, onions, lime juice, remaining ginger-garlic purée, ½ the mint, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Warm the pita
- Meanwhile, warm the pita directly on an oven rack, 1 to 2 min., until soft and pliable.
- Transfer to a cutting board and cut into wedges.
Plate your dish
