Easter Za'atar Flatbreads With Crisp Spiced Minced Lamb & Halloumi

Yay!!  It’s the bank holiday weekend!  How fun would this look on your Easter lunch table!? 

I pimped up the Maneesh, Middle Eastern Flatbread recipe from Great British Chefs with some of my crispy spiced lamb, grated halloumi, red onions, pomegranate and red onions and damned, it was good!

This homemade za’atar is made from sesame seeds, dried thyme, oregano and marjoram, sumac, and olive oil is so flavourful… then combined with my crispy spiced lamb and Halloumi cheese, it was pure HEAVEN!  I also made a tahini drizzle  (not pictured) for extra moistness to go with the flatbreads.

CHEATS TIP: Buy large flatbreads, get the kids involved, cut them into egg shapes, and have fun decorating!
