Fattoush with Crispy Lamb
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
Method
- 250g Prime Lamb Mince
- 1tsp crushed chilli

- 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.
