Ingredients

  • 2 small focaccia (such as Crosta & Mollica) or 1 large
  • 200g leftover roast lamb
  • 2 tbsp Ottolenghi Date & Tamarind Sauce
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp The Levantine Table Herby Labneh Yogurt Dip (or strained Greek yogurt)
  • 4 tbsp baba ganoush
  • 6 sundried tomatoes, drained and sliced
  • ¼ x 25g pack mint (or dill, chives or parsley), leaves shredded
  • 2 tbsp crispy fried onions

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Heat the focaccia according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, slice or shred the lamb into bite-sized chunks and put in a bowl, then stir in the date and tamarind sauce. Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the lamb chunks and fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until piping hot throughout and slightly charred.

  2. When the focaccia is ready, halve lengthways. Spread the insides of the bread with the labneh. Spread the baba ganoush over the bottom halves of the bread, then spoon on the hot lamb. Scatter over the sundried tomatoes, herbs and crispy fried onions, then sandwich together with the top of the focaccia.
