Tips:
⭐️ I like to use the Roasted Garlic Flatbreads from The Levantine Table, Waitrose. They have a gentle garlic and sumac flavour.
⭐️You can make your own Tzatziki as there are lots of recipes online but I always just buy some ready made as this is a quick no fuss dinner!
⭐️The recipe is great with the added chilli flakes but I leave them out when cooking for the mini farmers.
⭐️I serve the bake with tzatziki and flatbreads, add cous cous and a side salad if you need to feed more mouths!
