Ingredients you'll need
  • 300g plain flour
  • 2 red onion
  • 2 courgette
  • 500g diced lamb leg
  • A handful of rosemary
  • 2 lemon
  • 300g yogurt
  • 2 garlic clove
  • A pinch of harissa powder
  • 8 skewers
  • 100g rocket
From your kitchen
  • Sea salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp cold water
  • Freshly ground pepper
You'll need
  • Large frying pan
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Pop the skewers into a bowl or glass of cold water and set aside to soak. This will help stop them catching and burning when you fry the lamb.

  • 2.

    Next, make the flatbread dough. Tip the flour into a large bowl, reserving 1 tbsp. Add a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp olive oil. Pour in 4 tbsp cold water. Mix and knead into a smooth dough, adding extra water if needed. Cover and set aside to rest.

  • 3.

    Peel the red onion and slice it into wedges. Trim the courgette and cut it into bite-size pieces. Add the onion and courgette to a bowl and tip in the diced lamb. Pick and finely chop the rosemary leaves and add them to the bowl. Zest in the lemon and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle in 1 tbsp olive oil and toss to coat the veg. Set aside.

  • 4.

    Pour the yogurt into a bowl. Peel and grate in the garlic. Squeeze in the juice from half of the lemon. Add a pinch of harissa powder (it's hot, so add as much or as little as you prefer) and stir well.

  • 5.

    Slide the herb-marinated lamb, onion wedges and courgette pieces onto the skewers.

  • 6.

    Dust your worktop with the reserved 1 tbsp flour. Pat the flatbread dough into 2 balls, then roll them out as thinly as possible – they should be about the size of a dinner plate. Place a frying pan on a high heat. When hot, lay a flatbread in the pan and cook for 1 min on each side, till golden brown and bubbled. Repeat with the other flatbread. Wrap the flatbreads in a clean tea towel to keep warm.

  • 7.

    Give the frying pan used to cook the flatbreads a quick wipe, and return to a medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the lamb skewers. Fry for 10-12 mins, turning every 2-3 mins, till the lamb is cooked through.

  • 8.

    Tip the rocket into a bowl and squeeze over the remaining lemon juice. Toss to dress. Pop the flatbreads on a couple of plates and top them with the fried lamb and veg. Drizzle over the harissa yogurt and serve with the rocket on the side.
