Method

Combine all the ingredients for the kebabs and divide mixture into four. Shape it into sausage shapes around four skewers. If the kebabs are not required immediately, chill the skewers of meat until required.
Grill or barbecue for about 15-20 mins, turning until brown and cooked through.
Meanwhile, combine all the ingredients for the salsa and season well.
Heat the pitta and split lengthways. Fill with salsa and the grilled kebabs.
