11 SMARTPOINT­S Harissa lamb with courgette tzatziki Serves 4

Mix together 2 tsp harissa paste and 1 tbsp lime juice in a shallow dish, season, then add 2 x 200g lean lamb steaks, trimmed of visible fat. Spoon over the marinade, turning the lamb until coated.

Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least an hour, but preferably overnight. Light the barbecue or place a non- stick frying pan over a mediumhigh heat.

To make the tzatziki, mix together 5 tbsp 0% fat Greek yoghurt, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 small crushed garlic clove and ½ coarsely grated courgette with 1 tbsp water and season to taste.

Remove the lamb from the marinade, spray with calorie-controlled cooking spray and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until done to your liking. Remove from the heat and leave to rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Next, wrap 4 x 50g Mediterran­ean flatbreads in foil and warm on the barbecue or under the grill for a few minutes. Divide the flatbreads between four plates.

Cut the lamb into 1 cm diagonal slices and place on the bread. Scatter over 3 tbsp chopped fresh mint, 3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander, 1 tbsp snipped fresh chives and 4 tomatoes, deseeded and diced.

Top each serving with 2 tbsp tzatziki. Serve each flatbread open, or folded in half, as preferred.
