SERVES 4

PREPARATION 15 minutes, plus resting time

COOKING 10 minutes

Ingredients

350 g lamb backstrap, all visible fat removed

1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika

1/2 teaspoon hot paprika

olive oil spray, for cooking

squeeze of lemon juice

4 gluten-free or rice wraps

1/3 cup (90 g) Smashed Broad Bean,

Feta and Mint Dip (see page 76)

1 cup rocket leaves

1 tablespoon roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley or mint leaves

1 Lebanese cucumber, shaved

4 roma tomatoes, thinly sliced

Method

Pat the lamb dry with paper towel, then sprinkle with both types

of paprika and season with freshly ground black pepper, rubbing

them in to coat the lamb evenly.

Heat a chargrill pan or heavy-based frying pan over medium–high

heat, then spray the lamb with olive oil. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each

side for medium–rare or continue until cooked to your liking. Cover

loosely with foil and leave to rest for 5 minutes, then cut into slices and

squeeze with lemon juice.

Spread each wrap with one-quarter of the broad bean dip, then top

with one-quarter of the lamb, rocket, parsley or mint, cucumber and

tomato. Roll up to enclose the filling and serve immediately.
