Method

1

In a small food processor or blender, combine feta, Greek yoghurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and a crack of black pepper. Blend until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.

2

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic, then the lamb strips. Season with cumin, paprika, salt and pepper.

3

Sear for 2–3 minutes on each side or until browned and just cooked through. Set aside to rest.

4

Brush bread with olive oil and toast in a pan or under the grill until golden and crisp on one side.

5

Spread a thick layer of whipped feta on the toasted side of the bread.

6

Top with cherry tomatoes and cooked lamb strips.

7

Place under a hot grill for 2–3 minutes until the cheese melts and the edges crisp up.

8

Sprinkle with za’atar, fresh mint or parsley, and a final drizzle of olive oil. Serve warm — fork optional.
