Fattoush with Crispy Lamb

  • Serves 4 to 6
  • Prep time: 15 minutes | Cooking time: 15 minutes

Fattoush is strictly a Lebanese salad, but we’ve added it to our collection of tapas to freshen the palate. Crunchy bites of pita bread, covered in sumac and a tahini dressing gives this dish a wonderful hint of summer.

Ingredients

  • 250g Prime Lamb Mince

  • 1tsp crushed chilli

  • salt and pepper

  • 2 large pita breads, cut into segments and toasted

  • 8 leaves romaine lettuce

  • 3 tomatoes cut into wedges

  • 1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into chunks

  • 1 yellow pepper, deseeded and cut into chunks

  • 1 cucumber, deseeded and diced

  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

  • bunch of radishes

  • 2 tbsp ground sumac

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

  • salt and ground fresh pepper to taste

  • balsamic syrup for garnish

Method

  1. Prepare the minced lamb by frying with the onions and chilli in a splash of oil, over a moderate heat. The mince should be crispy and well browned. Season with salt and fresh black pepper.

  2. Then combine all the remaining salad ingredients including the lemon juice and sumac, together in a bowl.

  3. Grab a platter and build layers of salad, crispy lamb and pita crisps and serve immediately drizzled with balsamic syrup!
