Spiced lamb flatbreads with a garlicky tomato salad

The Guardian17-04-2025
Repurposing roast lamb by pan-frying it with caramelised shallots and rich spices is an ideal way to use up your Easter roast leftovers. Take the dish to the next level by serving with Tesco Finest flame baked flatbreads. These handy flatbreads have been baked in a tandoor-style oven, which creates little bubbles of charred crispness for extra flavour, contrasting perfectly with the flatbread's soft centre and the spicy, Turkish-inspired lamb.
Prep 25 min Cook 20 min Serves 4
For the lamb2 tbsp Tesco Finest Sicilian extra virgin olive oil4 Tesco Finest echalion shallots, thinly sliced3 tsp ras el hanout
350g leftover roast lamb, sliced or shredded (Esther has roasted a shoulder of lamb)
For the salad½ red onion, thinly sliced3 Tesco Finest tomatoes on the vine, halved and thinly sliced1 lemon, juicedBig handful fresh mint and parsley, roughly chopped
For the garlic sauce150g Tesco Finest Greek yoghurt
30g mayonnaise
½ garlic clove, finely grated
To serve4 Tesco Finest flame baked flatbreads
30g pine nuts, toastedPickled green chillies
Suggested wine pairingTesco Finest zinfandel
Thinly slice your leftover roast lamb or, if you've slow cooked it, use two forks to gently shred the meat. Here, it makes for a quick family meal where you can build your own flatbreads, topping them with a salad of onions, herbs and perfectly ripe aromatic Tesco Finest tomatoes on the vine, a garlicky sauce and pickled chillies.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the shallots and fry over a low-medium heat for 12-15 minutes, or until they are beginning to caramelise. Stir through the ras el hanout and fry for 1 minute. Season with salt and set aside.
For the salad, toss together the onion, tomato, lemon juice and a ½ teaspoon of flaky sea salt as well as most of the herbs. Set aside for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour for the flavours to develop.
For the garlic sauce, mix together the yoghurt, mayonnaise and garlic. Loosen with a little water (roughly 2-3 tablespoons) until you have a sauce that's easy to drizzle. Taste and season with a little salt.
Add the lamb to the frying pan with the shallots and spices and cook for 5-7 minutes. Warm the flatbreads under the grill and then top with the spiced lamb, the salad, garlic sauce, pine nuts and pickled chillies, if you like. Finish with a sprinkle of the remaining herbs.

Baked beans with a 'twist' – make a Mediterranean recipe in just 10 minutes

This summery take on baked beans follows a traditional Mediterranean recipe and is ready in just 10 minutes. Classic baked beans are a staple in many of our favourite dishes, but they can lack a certain freshness and seasonality. ‌ That's where the summer delight of runner beans comes into play, offering a vibrant alternative that can be made just as tasty with the right recipe. ‌ Food52's culinary experts have shared a quick 10-minute recipe for runner beans with tomatoes and white beans, describing it as a "gentle twist on a Mediterranean classic". ‌ Known as "Fasolakia" in Greece, this staple dish combines braised green beans with fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, and olive oil. It's also a great seasonal choice, with runner beans typically in season in the UK from July to October. These healthy and versatile braised beans are often served as a side dish with moussaka or other Greek delights. They make a great topping for a jacket potato, a side for roast chicken, or an accompaniment to grilled fish for a summery palate. Or why not serve them with other Mediterranean small plates for a complete mezze? Mediterranean baked beans recipe Ingredients Two tablespoons olive oil 3/4 pound Romano (also known as runner) beans One pound fresh tomatoes Two teaspoons fresh garlic, minced One teaspoon of granulated cane sugar Three teaspoons sea salt (or to taste) One handful (about one cup) of basil, chopped One cup canned white or cannelloni beans, rinsed Sea salt and pepper, to taste Method Start by bringing a medium pot of water to a boil, then add one teaspoon of salt and the green beans. Cook for about five minutes until tender, then drain. ‌ While the beans are cooking, prepare the tomatoes. Bring a kettle of water to a boil, then use a sharp knife to slice an "x" in the bottom of each tomato. Pop your tomatoes into a heat-resistant bowl and douse them with boiling water. Let them soak for around three to five minutes until you notice the skin starting to peel away. Drain the tomatoes and give them a rinse under cold water so they're cool enough to handle. Peel off the skin, take out the core and scrape out the seeds. Then, roughly chop the tomatoes. ‌ Warm up the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, then sauté the garlic for 30 seconds. Toss in the tomatoes, sugar and a teaspoon of salt, then give it all a good stir. Turn down the heat to medium-low, then add the drained Romano beans and half of the basil. Give it another stir. ‌ Pop a lid on the frying pan and let it simmer gently over a medium-low heat for about 40 minutes. Keep an eye on it to make sure it's simmering nicely and give it a stir now and then to break up the tomatoes. Check the seasoning and add more sugar or salt if needed. This will depend on how your tomatoes naturally taste. After about 15 minutes, add the drained white beans. Stir them in. Then after 30 minutes, check if the green beans are completely soft and slightly thickened; if so, they're ready. Once the beans are softened, have a taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. To serve, sprinkle with the remaining basil.

Ballet flats with cushioned soles have shoppers with bunions buying 'again and again'

If you haven't heard of shoe brand Vivaia, you're about to this autumn... Every season brings with it a shoe that really takes off. Last year, it was the chunky loafer, and this autumn, the crown looks set to go to the ballet flat. Not the paper-thin pair you once wore to sixth-form discos, but a more adult version that's designed to look elegant and feel wearable. The Mary Jane flat, everywhere on the catwalks for AW25, seals its place as the shoe to know for the end of summer. In particular, Vivaia's Almond-toe Mary-Jane AdaptAll flats are already gaining traction as a fashion insider favourite. The almond-shaped toe makes them sleeker than a round ballet pump, and the strap adds that collegiate edge we're seeing across collections from Miu Miu to Tory Burch. But beyond the trend points, there's something else setting them apart: comfort. A triple-layer cushioned sole has made them the flat shoe that even bunion sufferers can wear without regret. Instead of being a one-hour shoe, they're proving to be an all-day option. The knit upper fabric flexes to fit, the strap adjusts rather than digs and you can chuck them in the washing machine when the weather makes them messy. The nine colours and prints range from deep forest shades to neutral staples, meaning they slot into wardrobes built around blazers and wide-leg trousers just as easily as dresses and tights. But don't just take our word for it, shoppers are raving about them... One reviewer pens: "I doubted whether the almond toe would fit to my prominent bunion feet after up to now only wearing square toe shoes, but surprisingly they do! And they look gorgeous. To be honest a second pair of the same style did not fit well as it was a little bit tighter and therefore too uncomfortable to keep." Another says: "Love the look, mild cushioning inside, I wouldn't say major arch support for those with that issue. The criss cross straps are snug, I'm assuming they'll stretch a little as I wear them. All in all very happy with the purchase." "Love them. So comfortable & will be great for travel," a third writes. Fashion-wise, the timing is perfect. Ballet pumps and Mary Janes are two of the biggest footwear stories for autumn, styled on runways with everything from cropped tailoring to layered knits. The difference is that most runway versions aren't made for the bus commute or a long day on your feet. These are. At £120, they're more of an investment than a throwaway high street flat, but that price tag has not slowed repeat purchases. Shoppers are going back for second and third pairs, which tells you everything you need to know about their staying power. However, if your budget doesn't stretch that far, we've spotted a New Look ballet pump launch that gets you a timeless Chanel-inspired look for considerably less. The Black Quilted Faux Leather Ballet Flats are priced at just £19.99, and have that same quiet luxury look as the designer ones without breaking the bank.
