Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole shoulder of lamb, bone in
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 Pomegranate (seeds only)

  • 500 g self raising flour
  • 500 ml plain yoghurt
  • 150 ml plain yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp Harissa Paste

Instructions
 

  • Set your smoker to indirect heat at 225F or 110C, add wood of your choice.  Mix all the spices together.  Rub the lamb shoulder with a little olive oil and cover evenly with the ras-el-hanout.  Cook for around 6 hours or until very tender (the bone should pull out easily).  Remove from the smoker and leave to rest for 30 minutes before pulling into a nice side shred.
    Peel and segment the oranges, peel the carrots and using a vegetable peeler, slice into long thin strips.  Mix the orange, carrot and pomegranate seeds together and leave to one side.  
    To make the flatbreads, mix the flour and yoghurt into a sooth dough, shape into small balls and roll out into small round thin discs (around the size of a CD).  Cook the flatbreads either in a hot frying pan or over a hot charcoal fire, flip over to cook both sides.
    To serve, pile flatbreads with pulled lamb, add a little of the salad and top with the harissa dressing.
