Perfect lamb pitta’s in minutes!

Looking for something simple but delicious whether its something with a glass of wine or a glass of larger with friends or just a yummy supper this is just up your street.
I love hot griddled lamb so try my Hot griddled Lamb pittas with salsa and humous. Your going to need: 4 pitta breads, 4 lambs steaks from your butcher, homemade houmous or a pot of houmous, 200g greek yogurt, 50g wild rocket, and to make your salsa - 2 tomatoes (greenhouse fresh ar the best), 1 red onion, 1/2 cucumber and 1 red chilli.
Preheat a griddle until its really hot. In the meantime chop all the ingredients for the salsa (deseed the chilli if you don’t like things too hot), and mix together. Split your pittas (you can use 8 baby size pittas if you prefer and there are also different varieties of pittas available too now). Toast your pittas on both sides on your griddle and put on one side. Season your lamb steaks and cook them on your griddle for 3 to 4 minutes each side, depending on their thickness. Slice the lamb steaks and add some lamb to each pitta follows by some salsa, houmous, greek yogurt and rocket. Serve any remaining salsa and houmous on the side with bread sticks, batons of celery, cucumber and carrot. These Pittas are best eatten straight the way. Your family, friends and guests will love them.
Tip- To get the criss cross griddling pattern on your meat, when griddling just remember to tuen your meat around 180 degress on the same side before turning over which will give you this pattern. Griddling depends on your cooker, some cookers have griddle plates others don’t so in that case you may wish to buy a griddle. Griddles come in a variety of shapes and sizes so make sure you choose the one which suits your cooking needs best for example how many chicken breasts can it cook at once there is no point buying one which cooks only 2 when you have 4 people in the family. George foreman has a excellent range too, see my previous blog lean, mean and oh so good.
