Indian Spiced Lamb Wraps Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and cook for a few mins to soften. Add the garlic, stir for 1 min, then add the frozen mince. Cook until defrosted and nicely browned, then stir in the curry paste, tomatoes, potatoes and half a can of water. Season well, then cover with a lid and simmer for 20 mins or until the potatoes are nearly cooked.
• Remove the lid and simmer for a further 10-15 mins until the liquid has reduced and the sauce clings to the potatoes and mince. Add the peas, stir through until defrosted, then serve with the warm wraps and yogurt.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix the spiced lamb ingredients with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
• Next, combine the ramp raita ingredients with a couple of pinches of salt and give it a good stir. Cover and refrigerate that too.
• Remove the lamb mixture from the fridge and uncover. Shape into elongated patties, about 5 inches long, and flatten slightly; you should have 10 total.
• Turn broiler to high and place the lamb patties on a small sheet pan. Broil for 10 minutes. Do not turn them halfway through cooking- it will ruin the texture. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Heat the tortillas (either in the microwave or using tongs to hold them over an open flame for a few seconds) to make them more pliable.
• On a piece of wax paper, place a tortilla, spread some raita on it, then top with a few slices of cucumber, onion, 2-3 lamb patties, a couple of sprigs of cilantro, and microgreens. Roll the tortilla pretty tightly using the wax paper. Twist the edges so all the ingredients are snug inside (like a Tootsie Roll). Let it sit 5 minutes before slicing in half.

Steps:

• For pineapple raita, mix first 4 ingredients., For wraps, in a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; saute onion until tender. Add ginger, garlic and seasonings; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chickpeas and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally., To serve, place spinach and chickpea mixture on tortillas. Top with raita and roll up.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until beef is no longer pink and onion is tender, 6-8 minutes, breaking up beef into crumbles; drain. Stir in chutney, soy sauce and garam masala; heat through. Add salad mix (reserve packets); cook and stir until slightly wilted, about 5 minutes., Combine coconut milk and reserved dressing packet until smooth. Spoon beef mixture into lettuce leaves; sprinkle with contents from reserved toppings packet. Drizzle with coconut milk mixture and top with mango.

Steps:

• Using a hand blender or mini food processor, whizz marinade ingredients to a smooth paste, then season with salt. Lay the lamb in a ceramic dish and coat with the marinade. Cover in cling film and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hrs or preferably overnight.
• If you are using a charcoal barbecue, wait for the coals to become white and glowing (light the barbecue about an hour before you want to cook the lamb). If using a gas barbecue, cook the lamb over medium heat. Lift lamb out of the marinade and barbecue, flesh-side down, for about 25 mins. Flip it over and give the fat side about 15 mins. When the lamb has a dark brown crust and is cooked to your liking, leave it to rest on a board for 15 mins. (If the weather forces you indoors, the lamb can be roasted at 220C/200C fan/gas 7 for about an hour for pink meat; the breads can be cooked on a very hot griddle).
• To serve, carve the lamb into thick slices and scatter with the coriander and some of the Pickled red onion (see below). Serve the remaining onion in a dish alongside the raita and breads (see recipes, below).
