Ingredients
- 300g lamb neck fillet, trimmed of fat and cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ tsp fennel seeds, crushed
- ½ lemon, juiced
- ¼ tsp dried chilli flakes
FLATBREADS
- 150g natural yogurt
- 175g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ a small bunch dill, chopped
- for brushing and frying groundnut oil
GARLIC YOGURT
- 150g natural yogurt
- a handful dill, chopped
- ½ cucumber, deseeded and finely diced
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
Method
- STEP 1
Toss the lamb pieces in a bowl with the fennel, lemon juice, chilli and some seasoning. Leave to marinate for 1 hour.
- STEP 2
To make the flatbreads, put the yogurt into a bowl and mix in the flour, baking powder, dill and 1/2 tsp of salt. Knead briefly to bring together as a dough, then leave in a covered bowl for 30 minutes.
- STEP 3
To make the garlic yogurt, combine all the ingredients in a bowl, season, then chill.
- STEP 4
Divide the dough into 4 and roll each out to 18cm circles on a lightly floured worksurface. Heat a heavy non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Lightly brush 1 flatbread with oil and cook in the pan for 2-3 minutes on each side or until it puffs up and turns a golden colour. Keep warm, wrapped in foil inside a tea towel, while you cook the rest.
- STEP 5
Heat the oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 8. Thread the lamb pieces onto 4 long metal skewers and balance across a shallow foil-lined baking tray, ensuring the lamb does not touch the base. Cook for 15 minutes or until starting to catch and char at the edges. Rest for 5 minutes under foil then serve with the flatbreads and garlic yogurt.
