  • Stir in the cheese, cumin and raisins and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper
  • Remove the pan from the heat and mix together well
  • Pack the mixture into the pita pockets (or onto a slice of bread then topped with another slice), spreading it to the edges in an even layer
  • Toast the filled pockets or sandwiches in a panini or toastie machine, on a hot griddle or heavy based frying pan until lightly browned (if you are using a griddle or frying pan,⅓ press the bread with a fish slice while they are cooking, rememberin
  • Leave to cool slightly, then halve and serve warm
