Prep time: 20 mins
Cooking time: 15-20 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
12 lamb skewers
1 baby cos lettuce
1-2 large truss tomatoes
1-2 Lebanese cucumbers
5 radishes
2 spring onions
Fresh parsley
Dressing
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon sumac
1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses
½ teaspoon dried mint
Good pinch salt
2 garlic cloves
Fried Lebanese Bread
1-2 large Lebanese flat breads
2 tablespoons olive oil
Method
- Remove skewers from the fridge 10-20 minutes before cooking.
- Spray a large frying pan or griddle pan with olive oil.
- Place the skewers in the pan set over medium heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Cook in batches if needed. Alternatively, grill the skewers on the BBQ. Transfer to a serving plate.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, pomegranate molasses, dried mint, and salt.
- Peel the garlic and crush it into the dressing. Mix well and set aside.
- Slice the Lebanese bread into strips or triangles (about the size of a corn chip). Place in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
- Mix with your hands to coat the pieces with oil. Transfer to an air fryer basket, set the temperature to 170°C, and air fry, tossing a couple of times for 4-5 minutes or until golden and crunchy. Transfer to a bowl.
- Slice the lettuce, cut the tomatoes and cucumbers into bite-sized pieces, slice the radishes and green onions, and chop the parsley.
- Transfer to a large serving bowl or platter. Pour the dressing on top and toss to combine.
- Add the fried Lebanese bread to the salad immediately before serving.
- Note: Don’t have an air fryer? You can use your oven grill – just keep an eye on the bread to ensure it doesn’t burn, or you can fry the bread in a frying pan or skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the pita becomes crispy and golden in colour, about 5 minutes.
