Method

1.Lamb Mince

Place a frying pan on a medium to high heat and toast the pine nuts and set them aside.
Add oil to the pan and fry the onions with the green chili on a medium heat until soft.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Increase the heat, add the lamb mince, and cook until brown.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the ground allspice, cinnamon, coriander, cumin, crushed beef stock cube and molasses or honey and continue to cook for a further few minutes to allow the seasoning to infuse.
When the lamb mince is cooked taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add a little salt to taste if required.

2.Flatbread

Mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a mixer add the lukewarm water and olive oil and mix for 5 minutes until a nice smooth dough is formed. Shape into a ball and then place in an oiled bowl, cover with a plastic bag, and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 30 minutes).
Pre- heat the oven to 200C.
Turn out the dough onto a floured surface, then divide into two balls. Roll out each ball into an oval shape. Place the flatbread on a large baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Spoon the lamb mince over and bake for 8 – 10 minutes until golden brown. Drizzle with hummus and fresh coriander.
