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. See method
Ingredients

- 150g (5oz) leftover lamb, torn
- 30g (1oz) lambs lettuce leaves
- 1/2 small red onion, finely sliced
- 1 small carrot, grated
- 3tbsp tzatziki
If you don't have red onions, try using white, brown or spring onions
