Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut pita into bite-sized pieces. Spread on a skillet over medium-high heat, tossing until golden and crispy, ~4 minutes. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet, brown ground lamb over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~6 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in cumin and sumac into the lamb. Cook until fragrant, 30 seconds, then remove from heat.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk yogurt with pomegranate molasses and a pinch of salt until smooth. Taste and adjust.

  5. Step 5

    Toast pine nuts in the skillet over medium heat until light brown and fragrant, ~2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  6. Step 6

    Layer crispy pita in serving bowls, top with warm lamb, yogurt sauce, pomegranate seeds, and toasted pine nuts. Serve immediately.
