By Simone Van Den Berg
This flatbread is great because when the weather is warm and sticky, you might not always feel like being in the kitchen for hours to prepare a decent meal. This bread is literally done in a few minutes. It’s full of juicy little tomatoes, yoghurtsauce and delicious spicy ground meat. What’s not to love right? The original recipe from Donna Hay is made with another flatbreaf and with lambmince but that is hard to find here so I just used regular mince. Worked brilliantly!
