Spiced lamb pittas

This deliciously spicy mince mixture tastes wonderful served with lightly toasted pitta breads and a few spoonfuls of Greek yoghurt. Use beef mince instead of lamb if that's what you have to hand, it's still delicious.

Step 1

Pour the olive oil into a large frying pan on a high heat and, when hot, add the onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Fry, stirring frequently, for 6-8 minutes or until the onion is cooked and golden at the edges.

Step 2

Add the spices and mince and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the mince loses its raw colour. Tip in the potatoes and 50ml (2fl oz) water, then cover with a lid, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the potatoes are just tender, then add the peas and cook, uncovered, for a further 2 minutes.

Step 3

Shortly before the spiced mince is ready, toast the pitta breads and pour the Greek yoghurt into a small serving bowl. Season the cooked lamb to taste and serve with the toasted pittas and yoghurt.
