Ingredients

  • 1 recipe basic dough
  • 2 red peppers
  • 1 medium eggplant
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 250g minced lamb
  • 1–2 teaspoons minced chilli
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Quarter of a cup flat leaf parsley, chopped + extra for sprinkling
  • 200g Mainland Creamy Feta, crumbled
  • Sumac or smoked paprika to sprinkle

 

Yoghurt & Tahini Sauce

  • 6 tablespoons De Winkel Yoghurt
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
     

 

Instructions 

  1. Place the eggplant and red peppers directly over the
    flame of a gas burner or barbecue, or under a preheated
    grill, turning regularly until completely blackened and soft.
    Place them in a large bowl & cover with a lid or plastic wrap
    and let them sweat for 10 minutes.
  2. Remove and peel off all the blackened skin and discard.
    Remove the stalk and seeds from the pepper and chop the
    flesh finely. Cut the stalk off the eggplant and chop the flesh
    finely.
  3. Heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté the onions & garlic
    for 5 minutes until soft. Place this in a large bowl with the red
    pepper, eggplant, lamb, chilli, sugar, salt, lemon juice and
    parsley. Mix using your hands or a wooden spoon until well
    combined.
  4. Divide the dough into 4–8 and roll/stretch out to canoe
    shaped flat breads. Roll over the edges a little to form a lip.
    Spread the filling over each dough base and top with the feta.
  5. Bake in a hot oven until golden and bubbling. Remove from
    oven and serve with Yoghurt & Tahini sauce and a little parsley
    and sumac.

 

Yoghurt & Tahini Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini and lemon juice to
loosen, then whisk in the yoghurt & garlic. Season with salt to
taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
