Tips/Tricks

• Everything can be prepared in advance for dinner – just place the uncooked flatbreads on a floured tray and cover with a towel or clingfilm so they don’t dry out.
• They can be left at room temp for up to 2 hours or in the fridge for longer. Remove from the fridge 30mins prior to cooking
• You can buy shop-bought pickled onions and/or flatbread to speed this up but homemade ones are honestly the best!
• Will also work with grilled beef skewers too
