Instructions

  1. Cooking the Lamb:

  3. Add the lamb mince and break it up using a wooden spoon or potato masher.
  4. Sauté everything and let the lamb cook over low heat until lightly browned.
  5. Add all powdered spices and yogurt, sauté, and cover.
  6. Let this cook over low heat for 8-10 minutes, until the lamb is evenly cooked.
  7. Once the lamb is cooked, turn off the heat and let the mixture cool.
  8. Make the Garlic Mint Sauce:
  9. In a blender, add all mint sauce ingredients and pulse until smooth.
  10. Keep aside.
  11. Making the Greek Lamb Flatbread Pizza:
  12. Preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C).
  13. Take 1 flatbread and spread 2 Tbsp of mint sauce all around the pizza.
  14. Spread the cooked lamb mix over the flatbread to the edges.
  15. Add toppings, olive oil, and mozzarella.
  16. Repeat until all 4 flatbreads are prepared.
  17. Place all flatbreads on two oven racks and bake until the dough is browned and crispy – 6-8 minutes.
  18. Once the pizza is done, add cucumber, red onions, fresh cilantro, oregano, and mint sauce.
  19. Finally, sprinkle some red chili flakes and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, marinate the lamb mince in half of the yogurt and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don’t have flatbreads, pita bread or naan can be used as a substitute.
  • Leftover lamb mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and used in salads or wraps.
