Step 1
Tear pita into bite-sized pieces. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high and fry pita until golden and crispy, ~3 minutes, stirring often.
Step 2
Transfer crisps to a plate. Return skillet to medium-high and brown lamb, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 3
Season lamb with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cinnamon (optional but traditional). Stir in lemon zest.
Step 4
Whisk yogurt with half the lemon juice and a pinch of salt until creamy. Whisk tahini with remaining lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, and 3 tbsp warm water until smooth.
Step 5
Spread yogurt onto a serving plate or bowl. Top with pita crisps, then the warm lamb and any pan drippings.
Step 6
Drizzle tahini sauce over the top and scatter parsley or mint. Serve immediately while pita is still warm and crispy.
