  • 5 g fresh ginger, finely grated

  • 5 g garam masala

  • 5 g curry powder

  • 5 g paprika

  • salt, to taste

  • pepper, to taste

  • 8 ramps, just the greens, minced

  • 30 ml extra-virgin olive oil

  • 10 ml lemon juice

  • 120 g soured cream

  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps

  • 2 Persian cucumbers, sliced very thin on a mandoline

  • 75 g red onion, thinly sliced

How to make Spiced lamb wraps with ramp raita

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the spiced lamb ingredients with 5 g of salt and 2.5 g of pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. In another bowl, combine the ramp raita ingredients with a couple of pinches of salt and stir well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. Remove the lamb mixture from the fridge and uncover. Shape the mixture into elongated patties, approximately 12.5 cm long, and flatten them slightly; you should have 10 patties in total.

  4. Preheat the grill to high and place the lamb patties on a small baking tray. Grill for 10 minutes without turning, as this will ruin the texture. Remove from the oven and set aside.

  5. Heat the tortillas either in the microwave or by holding them over an open flame with tongs for a few seconds to make them more pliable.

  6. On a piece of greaseproof paper, place a tortilla and spread some raita over it. Top with a few slices of cucumber, onion, 2–3 lamb patties, a couple of sprigs of coriander, and some microgreens.

  7. Roll the tortilla tightly using the greaseproof paper, twisting the edges to keep all the ingredients snug inside, similar to a Tootsie Roll.

  8. Let the wrapped tortilla sit for 5 minutes before slicing it in half.
