The fastest lamb dish I know; this is excellent served with the couscous for a main course, this would serve 3 people for a main course. It is also amazing put into hot pitta bread with some yoghurt and some coriander and mint salsa and some lettuce. It would be great for a packed lunch like this as it is quite dry, it won’t go everywhere. Good hot or just at room temperature.
