Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground lamb
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 large leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium cucumber, julienned
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, coriander, oregano, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper, mixing well to coat the lamb evenly with the spices. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the lamb to cool slightly.
For each wrap, lay a large romaine lettuce leaf on a flat surface.
Fill each lettuce leaf with a generous scoop of the spiced lamb mixture.
Top the lamb with julienned cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped parsley, and avocado slices.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
Carefully roll the romaine leaf to enclose the filling, creating a wrap.
Repeat for the remaining wraps and serve immediately.
