Lebanese-style lamb wrap

Cooking Time 30 minutes
Equipment You will need 8 toothpicks for this recipe.

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 2 tbs olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 tbs fresh lemon juice
• (about 350g) lamb eye of loin (backstrap), cut in half crossways
• Salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 4 pieces wholemeal lavash flatbread
• 1 x 225g ctn baba ghanoush
• 120g (1 cup) bought fresh tabouli

Method

• Combine oil, garlic and lemon juice in a glass or ceramic dish. Add the lamb and season with salt and pepper. Set aside, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes to develop the flavours.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the lamb and cook for 3-4 minutes each side for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil and set aside for 5 minutes to rest. Cut across the grain into 5mm slices.
• Kids' task: Place a piece of lavash on a clean work surface and spread with one-quarter of the baba ghanoush. Top with one-quarter of the tabouli and one-quarter of the lamb. Roll up firmly to enclose filling. Cut in half and secure each half with a toothpick. Repeat, in 3 more batches, with the remaining lavash, babaghanoush, tabouli and lamb.
• Serve immediately.
