1
Preheat the oven to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 2.
2
Put the lamb in the middle of a double sheet of foil and sprinkle on the mint.
3
Season and wrap to make a loose parcel - seal the edges but leave room for the air to circulate.
4
Put in a roasting tin and cook for 5-6 hours.
5
Mix the tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber and onion in a bowl.
6
When the lamb is cooked, shred the meat using two forks - it will be very tender, so this should be easy to do.
7
Preheat the grill.
8
Sprinkle the pittas with a few drops of water and grill for 1-2 minutes until they puff up slightly.

Cut in half and fill with the lamb, mint sauce, mixed salad, lettuce and yoghurt.
