Leave gaps between the pieces.

Swaps and Variations

  • An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the usual stand-in when you are out of fresh garlic — it will not caramelise the same way, but it carries the flavour.
  • Fresh herbs work in place of the dried oregano at roughly three times the quantity — a teaspoon of dried is about a tablespoon of fresh, chopped.

Keeping What's Left

Keeps in the fridge for 3 days. Eat cold in wraps.
