- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp dried Origanum
- 1 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped

- 1 x 7g sachet dried yeast
- 1 tsp runny honey
- 2 tsp Willow Creek Lemon Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
For the Lamb Rump:
- In a bowl, combine Willow Creek Lemon Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Origanum, mint, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the marinade over the lamb rump and marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavour.
For the Flatbread:
- Put the flour and sea salt into a large bowl, creating a well in the centre.
- In a jug, mix the yeast, lukewarm water, honey, and Willow Creek Lemon Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Let it sit for a few minutes.
- Gradually pour the yeast mixture into the flour, stirring and incorporating the flour from the sides to form a dough.
- Knead the dough on a flour-dusted surface for 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Cover with a damp tea towel and let it prove in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- After proving, split the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each ball out on a flour-dusted surface to about 1cm thick.
- Heat a cast iron pan over high heat. Brush the pan and dough with Willow Creek Culinary Olive Oil Blend. Cook each flatbread for 3 minutes per side until golden and puffed.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Pickle the Red Onions:
