  • 5 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1½–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • 1 brown onion, finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 450g lamb mince
  • 1½ tablespoons Turkish spice mix
  • 1 tomato, finely diced

  • ¾ tablespoon vinegar (e.g. cider, white wine, red wine)
  • 1½–2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 carrots, peeled and grated
  • ¾ cup frozen corn kernels, defrosted *
  • 2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves

Steps

  1. oven to 200°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
  2. Cut Turkish pide into thirds then cut each piece horizontally through the middle, to make 6 pieces. Place, cut-side-up, on prepared tray.
  3. Mix tomato paste with olive oil and sugar (if using) and evenly spread over each Turkish pide. Toast in oven for 8–10 minutes or until lightly golden and crisp.
  4. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook onion, garlic, lamb mince and Turkish spice mix, breaking up mince with a spoon, until mince is browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat, stir through tomato and season with salt and pepper.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together honey, vinegar, and olive oil. Add remaining salad ingredients, season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
  6. Spoon lamb mince mixture on top of each pide then cut each in half. Spoon a dollop of yoghurt on top and sprinkle with dukkha (if using).
  7. Place a few pieces of lamb pide and a serving of salad on each plate. Serve with extra yoghurt on the side, if desired.
