You could absolutely use a store-bought pizza base (or even Turkish bread) to make this an extra easy and fast recipe, but I love to make my amazing, filling (TWO ingredient!) pizza dough, made with just self-raising flour and yoghurt. No waiting, no rising, no rolling and barely any kneading. I know it sounds too good to be true but the result is a delicious, super fluffy, yet substantial dough, with a crispy base.
How do I prepare the lamb for the pizza?
Shred or thinly slice the leftover roast lamb. Make sure it’s free of large bones or gristle. If it’s cold, reheat it slightly in the microwave to make it easier to work with.
What other proteins can I use instead of lamb?
Leftover shredded chicken or beef, or a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas would all work well.
What other toppings could I add?
Cherry tomatoes, roasted vegetables (like zucchini/courgettes or eggplant/aubergines), herbs like basil and oregano, mushrooms, baby spinach leaves or jarred artichokes would all be delicious additions.
What side dishes pair well with Leftover Mediterranean Lamb Pizza?
Create a Mediterranean-inspired spread by adding Greek salad, hummus and toasted pita bread, lemony couscous or Greek Lemon Dill Rice.

Assembling The Pizza
Leftovers
Lamb – Leftover lamb is best consumed within 3 days, as long as it’s stored correctly (refrigerated in an airtight container). Take this into consideration with the following instructions for the pizza. Pizza – Refrigerate leftover cooked pizza for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Reheat it or eat it cold. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw completely in the fridge before reheating to stop the base drying out.
