Greek-style shoulder of lamb Ingredients:
1 1/4 kg lamb |
2 teaspoons mint |
2 tomatoes |
1 pepper |
1/4 cucumber |
1 onion |
4 pita breads |
4 teaspoons mint sauce |
1 lettuce |
200 g yoghurt |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 2. Put the lamb in the middle of a double sheet of foil and sprinkle on the mint. Season and wrap to make a loose parcel - seal the edges but leave room for the air to circulate. Put in a roasting tin and cook for 5-6 hours.
2. Mix the tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber and onion in a bowl.
3. When the lamb is cooked, shred the meat using two forks - it will be very tender, so this should be easy to do.
4. Preheat the grill. Sprinkle the pittas with a few drops of water and grill for 1-2 minutes until they puff up slightly. Cut in half and fill with the lamb, mint sauce, mixed salad, lettuce and yoghurt. Serve with extra salad.
