The most important thing to most parents in terms of feeding their kids is that the meal is quick and easy. Wait, that’s two things! Oh well. I can cope with slow things, as long as it’s slow to cook but quick to prep, i.e. slow cooker recipes. There are times to linger in the kitchen (mainly at the weekend with someone else looking after the sprogs) but midweek generally isn’t one of them!
This is perfect for a midweek dinner. Simply toss the lamb in the mixture (hey, if you’re really organised let it marinade all day) then fry off and pop in the flatbreads. Pittas will work well too. Whilst the meat is frying all you are doing is chucking some salad bits on a plate and making tsatziki (literally grated cucumber and yoghurt pretty much).
It’s actually swish enough to make at the weekend, this, and serve to grown ups. Add a big bowl of posh hearty salad to go with, such as this halloumi and cous cous one – and that’s a really great meal for entertaining another family right there!
Watch out for my new recipes over on my YouTube channel every Wednesday – do sub if you haven’t already – my new kitchen isn’t ready yet (SOB) but it won’t be long. Until then I’m afraid it’s still me in my tiny little one!!

I’m in love with this recipe, not only it’s easy, it’s actually healthy! I’m just thinking maybe a teaspoon of curry could do wonder combined with those flavors.
