Brush the pitta breads with the clarified butter and place in a half-size AGA baking tray, lined with Bake-O-Glide.

Cut the pitta bread into small pieces. Place in a bowl and pour over the lemon juice. In a larger bowl mix together the salad ingredients then add the bread and lemon juice and mix well. Check the seasoning and serve immediately, so the bread still has some crispness.

Rayburn cooking: Cook the pitta bread in the Main Oven at 220deg;C (425deg:F), Gas Mark 7 for about 8-10 minuted in total, turning over after 5 minutes or until brown and crisp.

Conventional cooking: Cook the pitta bread in the oven set at 220°C (250°F), fan oven 200°C, Gas Mark 7 for about 8-10 minutes in total, turning over after 5 minutes or until brown and crisp.

Tip: clarified butter is used as it has the ability to take higher heat without burning, than ordinary butter. To make clarified butter; place butter into a bowl and put it at the back of the AGA to melt. The butter will separate on melting, use the top clear part and responsibly discard the solids.
