Ingredients

  • 400 g lamb mince
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 red onion finely sliced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 4 small flatbreads or mini tortillas
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • Water for loosening tahini
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Olive oil for cooking

Toppings (choose your favourites)

  • Crumbled feta optional
  • Pickled green chillies
  • Crispy chickpeas
  • Mixed salad leaves or shredded lettuce
  • Fresh mint

Instructions

  • Start by pickling the onion: in a small bowl, combine the sliced onion with half the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside while you prep everything else.
    In another bowl, mix the tahini with the remaining lemon juice and enough water to create a smooth, pourable sauce.
    Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the lamb mince and cook for 8–10 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon. Season with cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through.
    Warm the flatbreads in a dry pan or low oven. Spread each with some lemon tahini, then top with the spiced lamb.
    Finish with pickled onions and your choice of toppings – like crumbled feta, crispy chickpeas, or salad. Serve warm.
