Harissa Lamb With Hummus image

The secret to char grilling lamb is to cook it over a high heat, searing in all the juices. Then just let it sit for a few minutes to relax, so that the meat becomes tender and wonderfully juicy. Its really not difficult and i guarantee that these delicious lamb pittas are well worth the effort.
