Turn Leftover Lamb into a Crowd-Pleasing Spiced Flatbread Feast

Looking to breathe new life into your Easter roast leftovers? This vibrant and flavour-packed Spiced Lamb Flatbread recipe is the perfect solution. With just 45 minutes of prep and cook time, you can transform yesterday’s roast into a modern Middle Eastern-inspired meal that’s quick, easy, and sure to impress.


✨ A New Spin on Leftovers

This dish brings together shredded leftover lamb, aromatic shallots, and ras el hanout spice to create a savoury filling with rich, warming flavour. Serve it all on Tesco Finest flame baked flatbreads — soft on the inside, charred and crispy on the outside — for a satisfying base.

The salad adds brightness with fresh mint, parsley, juicy tomatoes, and tangy lemon juice, while a creamy garlic sauce ties it all together. For extra punch, scatter over some pine nuts and pickled chillies.
