Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground lamb
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 large lettuce leaves
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and onions. Sauté until onions are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in ground lamb, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Season the lamb with cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and let cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse.
While the lamb is cooking, prepare the tahini dressing by combining tahini, lemon juice, and water in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency with more water, if needed.
Assemble the wraps by placing a large lettuce leaf on a plate. Add a generous spoonful of the spiced lamb mixture in the center.
Top with diced tomatoes, cucumber, sliced red bell pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Drizzle the tahini dressing over the top and wrap the lettuce around the filling tightly.
Repeat the process with the remaining lettuce leaves and filling. Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Mediterranean Lamb Wraps!
