Spiced Lamb Wraps with Ramp Raita

This high-protein dish offers a sophisticated twist on the classic kebab, featuring lean lamb mince seasoned with a warming blend of garam masala, curry powder and paprika. The earthy, spiced meat is perfectly offset by a vibrant raita made with seasonal ramp greens, providing a fresh and garlicky lift to the creamy yoghurt base. It is a wonderful choice for a quick midweek meal that feels both healthy and indulgent.

Ideal for those seeking a nutritious, homemade dinner, these spiced lamb wraps are packed with fresh textures from thinly sliced Persian cucumbers and aromatic coriander. The method of tightly rolling the tortillas in greaseproof paper ensures every bite is compact and full of flavour, making them a practical yet impressive option for a casual garden lunch or a satisfying post-workout supper.

Ingredients for Spiced Lamb Wraps with Ramp Raita

  • 450g lamb mince

  • 80g yellow or red onion, finely chopped

  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely grated

  • 1 teaspoon garam masala

  • 1 teaspoon curry powder

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • Salt

  • Pepper

  • 8 ramps, just the greens, minced

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

  • 120ml yoghurt

  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps

  • 2 Persian cucumbers, sliced very thin on a mandoline

  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

  • Fresh coriander sprigs, about 1/4 bunch

  • Greens or microgreens

In a medium bowl, mix the spiced lamb ingredients with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Cover and refrigerate.

Next, combine the ramp raita ingredients with a couple of pinches of salt and give it a good stir. Cover and refrigerate that too.

Remove the lamb mixture from the fridge and uncover. Shape into elongated patties, about 5 inches long, and flatten slightly; you should have 10 total.

Turn grill to high and place the lamb patties on a small sheet pan. Grill for 10 minutes. Do not turn them halfway through cooking— it will ruin the texture. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Heat the tortillas (either in the microwave or using tongs to hold them over an open flame for a few seconds) to make them more pliable.

On a piece of wax paper, place a tortilla, spread some raita on it, then top with a few slices of cucumber, onion, 2–3 lamb patties, a couple of sprigs of coriander, and microgreens. Roll the tortilla pretty tightly using the wax paper. Twist the edges so all the ingredients are snug inside (like a Tootsie Roll). Let it sit 5 minutes before slicing in half.
