This family meal is a great twist on nachos, substituting Greek-style lamb and pita bread for the traditional mince and corn chips.

1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbs tomato paste
500g lamb mince
2 tbs chopped oregano leaves
4 thin pita breads, cut into triangles

2/3 cup (100g) pitted kalamata olives
1/3 cup (50g) pine nuts, toasted
1/2 bunch mint, leaves picked

Tzatziki

1 cup (280g) thick Greek-style yoghurt
