Spicy lamb pittas

Preparation time: 10 minutes, plus 1 to 2 hours' marinating
Cooking time: 15 minutes

2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
6 x 50g (1¾oz) lamb leg steaks
1 tbsp olive oil
6 pitta breads
a handful of fresh coriander
salad leaves and sliced tomatoes, to serve

1 Rub the Cajun seasoning all over the lamb steaks. Cover and chill in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours.
2 In a large frying pan, heat the oil, add the lamb steaks and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side until browned and just cooked through.
3 Meanwhile, toast the pitta breads for a minute under the grill, then split down one side to form a pocket. Carefully pack with the lamb steaks, coriander, salad leaves and tomato. Cut the pittas in half and serve.

Picnic tip
Fry the lamb steaks and grill the pittas, then leave to cool. Assemble and pack in plastic boxes.
