Step 1
Weigh and reserve 50g of flour for dusting later. Tip the remaining 150g into a bowl. Add 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil, 65ml warm water (65ml water weighs 65g, if this helps) and a good pinch of salt. -
Step 2
Mix and knead the dough well for 2 mins. Divide into 4 equally sized balls. Place them in the fridge to rest. -
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a frying pan. Fry the lamb with a good pinch of salt for 4-5 mins, until broken up and browned. -
Step 4
Tip in the harissa, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, dried oregano, pine nuts and 2 tbsp water. Cook for a further 2 mins. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon. Transfer it to a plate then the fridge to help it to cool quickly. Leave for 20 mins. -
Step 5
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the garlic clove. Finely slice the mint leaves. Mix the garlic and mint into the yogurt. Season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. -
Step 6
Take the half cucumber and split it, lengthways. Use the tip of a teaspoon to scrape out and discard the soft, seedy core. Cut into a chunky dice. Peel and finely slice the shallot. -
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 180°C/Gas 4. Remove the dough from the fridge. Dust the work surface and roll each ball into a 20cm disc. Divide the lamb mix between them, leaving a border of approx. 1cm around the edges. -
Step 8
Fold each disc in half and pinch the edges together to seal. Dust with a little more flour and lightly roll each one out a bit more. It doesn't matter if a bit of the filling bursts out. -
Step 9
Heat a little oil in the frying pan. Fry a flatbread over a medium heat for 1-2 mins on each side, until golden. Repeat the process with the others. If your pan can fit more than one at a time, all the better. Place them on a baking tray in the oven for 5 mins, while you make the salad. -
Step 10
Mix the salad leaves, shallot and cucumber together. Spoon over the tzatziki dressing. Chop a little more mint as a garnish if you like. Serve the warm flatbreads with the salad on the side.
