Torn flat bread is great for making bite-sized wraps of spiced lamb and Greek-style salad.

 Ingredients

12 baby roma tomatoes, halved lengthways
150g goats feta, crumbled
2 Lebanese cucumbers, coarsely chopped
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
16 kalamata olives
1/4 cup fresh continental parsley leaves
2 tsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp dried oregano leaves
60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
4 lamb leg steaks
2 tsp ground cumin
4 pieces Lebanese bread

 Method

Step 1
Place the tomato, goats feta, cucumber, onion, olives and parsley in a bowl. Whisk the vinegar, oregano and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a bowl. Add to the salad and toss to combine.

Step 2
Heat the remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Sprinkle lamb with cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate.Cover with foil. Set aside for 5 minutes to rest.

Step 3
Thickly slice the lamb. Divide the salad and lamb among serving plates. Serve with the Lebanese bread. Notes

Variation: Chicken salad with tasty cheese: Omit the olives, if desired, and the cumin. Replace goats feta with Bega Tasty Bar-B-Cubes. Replace the lamb with 4 single chicken breast fillets, halved horizontally.
