Quick and Easy Spicy Minced Lamb Wraps
On a weeknight, you want something delicious for supper but don’t want to a takeaway. Make a batch of this Indian Spicy Minced Lamb Curry, add any flat bread or even chapati, some salad and a yoghurt sauce and you’ll have the most satisfying meal.
You just need one pan and it can be prepped and cooked in under 30 minutes. Give it a go. Most people will have the store cupboard ingredients for this dish. It is also very economical. One pack of minced lamb and the added onions and green peas will make many portions of this wrap. A little goes a long way.
The curried lamb recipe is very flexible and you can spice it up or spice it down as much as you want. If you are cooking for children, you can make it less spicy. It is a great easy dish for a quick meal and a spicy kick. If you have any leftovers, you can have it some basmati rice or make some spicy nachos using the lamb mince on some taco chips, topped with grated cheese and grilled.
Why don’t we eat more lamb? It is locally reared, fed on grass and is such a versatile meat. Anything you can do with beef, you can do with lamb. Slow cooking lamb belly is a delicious way to cook lamb. The lamb belly is a very cheap and forgotten cut. Ask your local butcher for these cuts and make it for your next Sunday roast.
