1

Trim the thick fat off the pork and cut into large chunks, place in a large casserole dish with a lid.

2

In a small bowl combine, the chilli flakes and powder, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper, stir to combine and rub into the pork.

3

Add the orange zest, cinnamon, bay leaves, onion, garlic and orange juice to the pot and add enough cold water to just cover the pork by about 1 inch.

4

Place on the hob and bring to a boil, skimming any scum that floats to the surface off.

5

Pre heat the oven to 140°C fan.

6

Reduce to a low simmer and cover with the lid, place in the pre heated oven for about 4 hours.

Check on the pork every hour or so to ensure its not drying out.

After 4 hours you should be able to pull the pork apart easily, if not continue to cook and check on it every 30 minutes.

7

Meanwhile add the sliced onion to a bowl with the salt and lemon juice and scrunch together to combine. Set aside.

8

Add all the ingredients for the avocado crema to another bowl and using a handheld blender whizz to a puree, cover and set aside.

9

When the pork is falling apart easily, remove from the oven and turn the oven up to 180°C fan. Line a baking tray with parchment or foil. Remove the pork from the pot and shred it into chunks on the lined tray. Add a good few spoonful’s of the cooking liquid and place in the oven to crisp up for about 20 minutes turning often. You want crispy buts and soft bits. Adding a little liquid after if necessary.

10

Meanwhile prep your remaining sides and set your table.

11

You can cut your wraps into small rounds reserving the trimming to bake in the oven for 5 minutes, to crunch up into tortilla chips or just serve the wraps as the come. Either way warm the wraps as per packet instruction.

12

When you are ready to serve remove the pork to a platter and you can pour a few spoonful’s of the cooking liquid over the pork to keep it moist.

13

Fill the wraps with avocado crema, pork, pink pickled onions, feta, a squeeze of lime and extra coriander and jalapenos.

With some of the gluten free pittas you just end up as a piece of flat bread. These ones actually puff up in the toaster and act just like the normal gluteny ones. We buy them all the time, they’re great.

As a lover of all things pita bread and pita chips I was blown away by the taste and texture of Bfree pitas! I’m a huge lover of Mediterranean food in general and these have never failed to create a tasty 10/10 Mediterranean meal. I usually split em and fill em up with my favourite veggies, hummus and chicken then drizzle with tzatziki sauce and it reminds me the Greek restaurant I used to love so much as a kid! Definitely a must try for all my pita lovers out there.

I have tried so many BFree products and they are all so good. My personal favorite is the Pita Bread. It is such a unique bread for being gluten free and I have never seen another brand make the same. It tastes incredible I love them. Thank you for creating such amazing gluten free breads!

A perfectly gooey brownie slice! The salted caramel wasn’t super obvious, but an absolutely delicious gluten free brownie nonetheless!
