Lamb Mince Shawarma Wraps
Ground lamb is seasoned with warm shawarma spices — cumin, coriander, paprika, and garlic — then cooked quickly and wrapped in soft flatbread. Toppings like yogurt sauce, tomato, and onion round out each wrap. The filling cooks in about 10 minutes, making this a genuinely fast weeknight dinner.
Equipment
- Large frying pan
- Mixing bowl
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 pound lamb mince preferably organic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon paprika smoked for additional depth
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 4 pieces flatbreads such as pita or naan
- ½ cup yogurt plain, for serving
- 1 cup cucumber diced, optional for garnish
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Lamb Mince: Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sauté until they turn translucent and fragrant.
- Add Spices: Stir in cumin, coriander, paprika, and cinnamon, cooking for 1 minute until spices are aromatic.
- Cook the Lamb: Increase the heat to high and add lamb mince. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.
- Assemble Wraps: Warm the flatbreads slightly in the oven or on a pan. Spread a tablespoon of yogurt on each, add the lamb mixture, sprinkle with fresh parsley and optional cucumber for freshness.
Notes
- For an extra touch of authenticity, try grilling the lamb mixture briefly on a high open flame for a smoky flavor.
- Substitute lamb with ground beef or turkey for a variation.
