Bread — to buy2 flatbreads
Vinegar — to buy2 tbsp

Preparation

Simmer the lamb pieces in the stock for 1h30 over low heat until very tender, then set the meat and cooking liquid aside separately.
Cut the pita bread into pieces and fry or toast in the oven until golden and crisp.
Cook the rice in some of the lamb stock so it soaks up all the flavour.
Make the garlic and vinegar tomato sauce: cook the garlic in the oil, add the rest of the stock and the vinegar, reduce for 10 minutes.
On a large platter, layer the crispy bread, then the rice, then the meat, and generously top with the garlic-vinegar sauce before serving right away.
