Method

  1. Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. In a large frying pan, heat 
1 tbsp of the oil over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry for 
5 minutes until starting to soften. Add the ground coriander and fry for a few minutes, then stir in the lamb mince.
  2. Turn up the heat and 
fry the mince, stirring regularly, until browned and beginning to crisp (about 5 minutes). Stir in the harissa and sultanas. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mince has cooked through, then taste and season.
  3. Divide the mixture among the taco shells and arrange them carefully on a baking sheet lined with non-stick baking paper. Crumble over the feta, then bake for 10 minutes.

Quick wins & tips

If you have a lemon 
to hand, squeeze half over the salad with a drizzle 
of oil (step 4). Next time, serve the filling in flatbreads with yogurt and a squeeze of lemon. You can also stir 
in some cooked rice or beans to stretch the filling. This would also taste great made with beef mince.

Make Ahead

Cook the meat 24 hours ahead, keep covered in the fridge and reheat in the microwave or a pan until piping hot.
