Leftover lamb and tzatziki pittas recipe
Creamy, minty tzatziki goes so well with lamb – pack into pittas with salad for a quick lunch or supper. This recipe is a mouthwatering leftovers idea from our soy honeyed leg of lamb dish. The leftover meat needs to be thoroughly reheated until piping hot and should never be reheated more than once.
