Can you freeze lamb mince flatbread?

You can freeze any flatbreads you do not use in a sealed bag or container for up to 3 months. The cooked lamb mince can also be frozen. I highly recommend freezing it before you add the fresh herbs, pomegranate seeds and pine nuts. The dish will be fresher if you add the herbs, pomegranate and pine nuts after you have defrosted and reheated the lamb mince.

Is flatbread healthier than regular bread?

Flatbread calories and nutritional content are similar to regular bread. Look out for wholemeal flatbreads for a healthier alternative.

How long will the lamb mince keep in the fridge?

Store any leftover cooked lamb mince in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If you are making this dish with the intention of having leftovers, I recommend you set aside the amount of lamb mince you want to save for later and refrigerate before adding the pomegranate seeds, pine nuts and herbs. This will give you the best and freshest results, but you can refrigerate the final dish and reheat it too. It will still taste really good, but it won't be quite as fresh.
