Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 2 lamb leg steaks
- 1 tbsp harissa
Breads & Spreads
- 4 wholemeal flatbreads
- 4 tbsp ready-made houmous
Vegetables & Herbs
- 2 carrots, grated
- handful of parsley leaves, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare and season the lamb: Preheat the grill to high heat. Place the lamb leg steaks onto a baking tray, then rub all over with the harissa paste. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Grill the lamb: Grill the lamb steaks for 6 to 8 minutes total, turning them halfway through cooking to ensure even doneness. Cook until the lamb reaches your preferred level of doneness.
- Rest the lamb: Remove the grilled lamb from the heat and place it on a plate. Let it rest for a couple of minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Warm the flatbreads: While the lamb is resting, warm the wholemeal flatbreads—this can be done in the grill or on a dry pan until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the flatbreads: Spread 1 tablespoon of houmous evenly over each warmed flatbread. Mix the grated carrot with the chopped parsley, then slice the rested lamb thinly and place it down the middle of each flatbread.
- Add toppings and finish: Scatter the carrot and parsley mixture over the sliced lamb, drizzle with any resting juices that remain on the plate, then roll up each flatbread tightly. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- You can adjust the harissa amount depending on your preferred spice level.
- Resting the lamb is important to keep it juicy and tender.
- For an even quicker option, use leftover grilled lamb or pre-cooked lamb slices.
- Serve with a simple side salad or extra fresh herbs for added freshness.
- Wholemeal flatbreads provide a healthier alternative with more fiber than white flatbreads.
