Ingredients

  • 400g lamb mince
  • 2 tablespoons za'atar seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar
  • 4 large flatbreads or naan
  • 200g labneh or Greek yoghurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 100g cucumber, diced
  • 150g cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 30g fresh mint leaves
  • 30g fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • 50g pomegranate seeds
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of sumac for garnish

Instructions

1

Combine the sliced red onion with red wine vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside for at least 20 minutes to quickly pickle.

2

Mix the labneh or Greek yoghurt with the minced garlic, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.

3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the lamb mince, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.

4

Season the lamb with za'atar, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the internal temperature reaches 74°C and the meat is browned and cooked through with no pink remaining.

5

While the lamb cooks, warm the flatbreads in a dry pan or under the grill for 1-2 minutes per side until pliable and lightly charred.

6

Combine the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, mint, and parsley in a bowl. Dress with remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

7

To assemble, spread a generous layer of garlic labneh over each warm flatbread. Top with the spiced lamb, fresh herb salad, and drained pickled onions.

8

Scatter pomegranate seeds over the top and finish with a dusting of sumac. Serve immediately while warm.
