1If using dry mince, rinse it really well under running water using a sieve to rehydrate it. Shake the sieve to drain any excess water. 

Skip this step if using ready plant-based mince.

2Add mince, tomato paste, syrup, soy sauce, onion and garlic powder to a small mixing bowl.

3Mix to combine using a spoon or your hands (wear a food-grade glove).

4Preheat a frying pan (26 cm ~ 10 inch, preferably cast iron). Drizzle or spray with olive oil. Add seasoned mince.

5Fry and stir frequently for ~ 5 minutes or until mince begins to brown.

6In the meantime, make the yogurt sauce. Add yogurt, vinegar, garlic powder, dill, if using, and salt to a mixing bowl.

7Mix to combine.

8Wash lettuce leaves really well under running water, pat dry and cut into bite-sized pieces. Alternatively, wash and dry using a salad spinner then cut. Add to a serving bowl.

9Add sauce.

10Dice the cucumbers and add to the lettuce.

11Top with cooked mince and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
