Ingredients

Flatbread:

  • 200 grams about 2 cups rye flour (spelt, buckwheat or all-purpose flour will also work)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 200 grams about 3/4 cup plain greek yogurt

Lamb:

  • 1 lbs / 454 grams ground lamb
  • 1 tbsp za'atar or other Middle Eastern seasoning

Salad:

  • 1/2 cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1/2 pint small ripe tomatoes halved or quartered
  • 1/2 large bell pepper
  • 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and mint leaves either one is optional
  • 1 lemon
  • drizzle of olive oil
  • salt and pepper to season

Sumac yogurt:

  • 1/2 cup thick plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp sumac

Instructions

Flatbread:

  1. Place flour, baking powder and yogurt in a food processor and blend until mixture forms a ball (or you can do this by hand with a fork). Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until all ingredients come together, about 1 minute. Put dough in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for 10-15 min to quickly rise (it will only very slightly rise).

Lamb:

  1. Place lamb in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, while breaking up occasionally with a wooden spoon for 5-7 minutes. Stir in za'atar seasoning (check that the za'atar seasoning has salt in it, if not season meat with salt). Cook for another minute or 2 until lamb is cooked through and starting to crisp.

Salad:

  1. Squeeze lemon juice into a medium bowl. Top with cut vegetables (tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, red onion, and herb(s). Top with a drizzle of olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Yogurt:

  1. Combine yogurt and sumac together in a small bowl.

Flatbread:

  1. Heat a large skillet to medium heat.
  2. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces and roll out on a lightly floured surface until 2 mm thick or so. Fry individually until flatbreads puff up on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.

To serve:

  1. Place salad, flatbreads, yogurt and lamb on the table and allow guests to personalize each one.
