Harissa lamb flatbreads

Harissa lamb flatbreads


One evening when I was due to make lamb kofka tagine (which I really love!), I just didn't have the energy or inclination to spend a long time in the kitchen. 


With the ingredients I had, I decided to experiment and came up with these delicious harissa lamb flatbreads.  They were such a success, that they are now a permanent fixture on our menu!


I simply sauteed onion, peppers and garlic, then added some lamb mince, harissa pastes, tomatoes , tomato puree and oregano and let it simmer for a little while.


Spooned onto flatbreads, that I'd spread with some tzatziki and topped with parsley and homemade pickled red onions.  So good!

Ingredients

Ingredients

Serves 4

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 yellow pepper

1 green pepper

1 large white onion

4 tomatoes

2 large garlic cloves

500g lamb mince

1 tablespoons of rose harissa

1 teaspoon of smoked chilli harissa

2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomato puree

Handful of toasted pinenuts (optional)

2 tablespoon of finely chopped flat leaf parsley

Seasoning


To serve

4 flatbreads

Tzatziki

Handful of finely chopped flat leaf parsley

Pickled red onions

Method

Method

  1. Peel the onion and garlic, and finely dice the onion.
  2. Deseed the peppers and cut into small dice.
  3. Dice the tomatoes.
  4. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to a large sauté pan and bring up to a low to medium heat.  Add the onion and pepper and sauté until translucent.
  5. Finely grate or crush the garlic and add it to the pan. Sauté for a couple more minutes, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
  6. Add the mince and increase the heat to medium.  Break the mince up with the back of a wooden spoon and cook until there is no pink meat remaining.
  7. At this point, you can remove some of the cooking fat (if desired) by tipping the pan to one side and spooning out some of the fat into a bowl.
  8. Add the tomatoes to the pan, along with the sun-dried tomato paste, oregano, harissa pastes and toasted pine nuts (if using).
  9. Season and stir well.
  10. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, to let the flavours infuse the meat and combine.
  11. Serve on the flatbreads with tzatziki, a sprinkle of finely chopped parsley and some pickled red onions.
