Method

  1. Rub the lamb with a little oil and half the lime juice, then season with salt and pepper. Barbecue or cook in a hot griddle pan for 10-15 mins, turning occasionally. Remove from the heat, cover with foil and set aside to rest.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining lime juice and the fennel seeds together with some salt and pepper and a little olive oil in a large bowl. Add the carrot and red onion, then mix well.
  3. Warm the pitta breads on the barbecue or griddle pan, then make a slit in each to form a pocket. Slice the lamb and stuff into the pittas with the carrot salad and lettuce leaves.

    We made this on the barbeque last week and it was a big hit - delicious and really easy to do. The salad is delicious on its own. As a veggie alternative, we tried the salad in pitta with haloumi cheese cooked on the barbeque which was also delicious.

    felt really healthy with wholegrain pittabreads. Did not get hold of fennelseeds though. Still delicious. Recommended.

    Really enjoyed this. The fennel really brings out the flavour of the lamb. Will be making this again. Quick, simple and delicious.
