Today I fancied experimenting.
I've inevitably got myself into the Great British Bakeoff (it was only a matter of time) and the contestants ingenuity had me questioning my own level of adventurousness when it comes to cooking. I can follow recipes a treat, but creating meals totally from my own brain is something I have yet to venture into.
So on that note!
Here is my choice for today's lunch and my own creation.
Fresh Lamb Flatbreads
For the Lamb Filling:
A Handful of lamb
1 clove of garlic chopped
2.5 tablespoons of natural yoghurt
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp tumeric
Mint leaves chopped finely
1 Dried apricot chopped finely
1 tsp lime juice
Salt and Pepper
For the Flatbread:
Half a cup of natural yoghurt
A good sprinkle of baking powder
1 cup of plain flour (adding more if the dough is too sticky)
To Serve
Ripped fresh parlsey
Fresh lime
Method
- Start by slicing the lamb into cubes and put them into a bowl.
- Add all your other lamb filling ingredients to the same bowl and combine well to cover the lamb.
- Let it marinade for 10 minutes.
- Next make your flatbread, by combing all of the listed ingredients in a new bowl.
- Use your hands or a spoon to bring the mixture together until it starts to form a dough.
- Add more flour if you need to.
- Once a dough has formed, flour a work surface and kneed it for 5 minutes until it has become elasticated.
- Roll the dough out with a rolling pin or stretch it out with your hands until it is 1cm thick.
- Heat a grill pan to a high heat with a little bit of olive oil and throw in your lamb mixture.
- Keep the leftover marinade for after the lamb is cooked.
- Try not to turn the lamb too much so that it gets nice and crispy on each side.
- Cook for a couple of minutes until browned and place back into your marinade - give it a good stir and cover the meat again.
- Now place your flatbread into the same pain and fry for 2 minutes of each side.
- Place your grilled flatbread onto a plate and spoon the lamb mixture into the middle.
- Sprinkle over your fresh parsley and squeeze a bit of fresh lime over.
- You can add salad such as red onion, watercress, radish and carrots.
- Roll up your wrap and eat!
There you have it, a tasty, filling and fast lunch!
