I was skeptical when I made my first attempt to cook Lamb Kebabs in Pitta. There is no way you can make a healthy kebab taste remotely like the greasy chip shop version, right? Well, actually you can. It really is tasty. I often serve with homemade chips or couscous and it’s a hit with the whole family!
