Ready in a flash, this quick and easy lamb mince wrap packs a punch, thanks to the use of baharat and Aleppo pepper (see recipe notes). It’s the perfect dish to whip up for a speedy lunch or dinner when you’re dining solo.

1/2 small Lebanese cucumber, finely grated
1/2 cup (140g) Greek-style yoghurt
1 small garlic clove, crushed
125g lamb mince
1 tsp baharat (see recipe notes)
1/2 tsp dried mint
1/4 tsp Aleppo pepper (see recipe notes)
1 Lebanese bread
1/8 small red onion, thinly sliced
3 cherry tomatoes, quartered, plus extra, to serve
1/4 cup mint leaves, plus extra, to serve
1/4 cup baby rocket, plus extra, to serve
3 pickled Lebanese chillies, plus extra, to serve
Lemon wedge, to serve

Method

1.

Squeeze and discard excess water from the grated cucumber, then combine with yoghurt and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper.
2.

Place the mince, baharat, dried mint and Aleppo pepper in a small bowl. Season with salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper and mix with your hands to combine well. Spread over the bread, using a fork to go right to the edge.
3.

Heat a large frypan over high heat until very hot. Cook bread, meat-side down, for 2-3 minutes, then flip meat-side up and remove from the heat. Spoon yoghurt mixture down the centre. Top with onion, tomato, fresh mint, rocket and pickled chilli. Add a squeeze of lemon and season.
4.

Roll up to enclose the filling and serve with extra tomato, leaves and pickles alongside.

Recipe Notes

Baharat is a Lebanese spice mix made up usually of pepper, cumin, coriander, sweet paprika, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and cardamom. It’s a great mix, which brings warmth and a slight sweetness.

Aleppo pepper is moderately hot. If substituting chilli flakes, use a little less if you don’t like it too hot.
