Step 1
Tear pita into bite-sized pieces. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 2
Add pita pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy, 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add onion and cook over medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Push aside and add ground lamb.
Step 4
Brown the lamb, breaking up with a spoon, until no pink remains, 5–6 minutes. Stir in cumin and allspice; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in yogurt gently until combined. Reduce heat to low and warm through, 2–3 minutes; do not boil.
Step 6
Toast pine nuts in a dry pan 2–3 minutes until golden, then sprinkle over top with crispy pita. Serve warm.
