Description

These quick and flavorful spiced lamb flatbreads are topped with savory lamb, melted mozzarella, fresh herbs, tomato, and finished with a lemon yoghurt drizzle. A perfect Mediterranean-inspired weeknight dinner that comes together in just 20 minutes.


Ingredients

  • 450 g lamb kebab meat with mint and honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic and herb flatbreads or naan breads
  • 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 bunch fresh mint leaves, roughly torn
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1 lemon
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek-style yoghurt
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat half the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the lamb kebab meat and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  2. Add ground cumin, pine nuts, and sliced spring onions. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  3. Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Line two large trays with baking paper. Place flatbreads on trays and sprinkle with mozzarella. Spoon lamb mixture evenly over the cheese.
  4. Bake for about 6 minutes, or until flatbreads are golden and cheese is melted.
  5. While baking, combine mint, diced tomato, and remaining olive oil in a bowl. Season lightly with salt if desired.
  6. Juice half the lemon and mix the juice into the yoghurt. Season to taste. Cut remaining lemon half into wedges.
  7. Remove flatbreads from oven and transfer to serving board. Drizzle with lemon yoghurt and top with mint and tomato mix. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Add chili flakes or paprika for extra heat.
  • Swap mozzarella for another mild melting cheese.
  • Top with toasted sesame seeds or extra pine nuts for crunch.
  • Add cucumber to the mint and tomato mix for freshness.
  • Add fresh toppings and yoghurt after reheating to avoid sogginess.
