For the Lamb
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 flatbreads
- 1/2 cup chopped cucumber
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced red onion
For the Hot Honey Feta Cream
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Cook the Lamb: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground lamb and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon to ensure even cooking.
- Season the Lamb: Sprinkle paprika, ground cumin, coriander, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the lamb. Stir and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the spices release their aroma and the lamb is fully cooked.
- Prepare the Hot Honey Feta Cream: In a bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, chili flakes, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix well until smooth and creamy, balancing the tanginess and sweetness with a subtle spicy kick.
- Warm the Flatbreads: Warm the flatbreads in a pan over medium heat or in a preheated oven until soft and slightly toasted to enhance flavor and texture.
- Assemble the Flatbreads: Spread a generous layer of the hot honey feta cream over each flatbread. Top with the cooked spiced ground lamb, then scatter fresh chopped cucumber, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onion for freshness and crunch.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle a little extra of the hot honey feta cream on top for added flavor. Fold the flatbread or serve it open-faced. Serve warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- For extra heat, increase the amount of chili flakes in the feta cream or add a dash of hot sauce.
- Flatbreads can be substituted with pita bread or naan if preferred.
- Leftover lamb makes a great addition to salads or wraps.
- You can prepare the hot honey feta cream ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Add fresh herbs like mint or parsley for an added burst of flavor.
