The image shows a flatbread with a creamy white spread as the bottom layer, covering the entire surface. On top of this, there are pieces of grilled meat with a browned texture and a slightly charred look. Above the meat, there are thin strips of golden brown fried sticks scattered in the center. Small green herb pieces are sprinkled lightly over the fried sticks and meat, adding a touch of color. The flatbread is placed on a white plate, and the background is a white marbled texture.

Ingredients

2 lamb leg steaks
1 tbsp harissa
4 wholemeal flatbreads
4 tbsp ready-made hummus
2 carrots, grated
handful of parsley leaves, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the grill to high. Place the lamb leg steaks on a baking tray, rub all over with the harissa, then season with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Grill the lamb for 6-8 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until cooked to your liking. Remove from the grill and let the lamb rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 3: While the lamb is resting, warm the flatbreads under the grill or in a dry pan.
Step 4: Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus evenly over each warm flatbread.
Step 5: Mix the grated carrots with the chopped parsley.
Step 6: Slice the lamb thinly and scatter the pieces down the center of each flatbread.
Step 7: Top with the carrot and parsley mixture, drizzle over any resting juices from the lamb, then roll up the flatbreads and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For extra heat, add a drizzle of chili oil or some sliced fresh chili to the flatbreads before rolling.
You can swap the lamb leg steaks for lamb shoulder or fillet if preferred.
Use flavored hummus varieties like roasted red pepper or garlic to add a different twist.
If you don’t have wholemeal flatbreads, regular tortilla wraps or pita breads work well too.

Storage

These flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh but can be wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. To reheat, warm gently in a pan or oven to prevent the flatbread from becoming soggy. Avoid microwaving as it can make the bread chewy.

How to Serve

A white plate holds a flatbread base with a thick, creamy off-white spread covering it evenly as the first layer. On top, there are slices of grilled meat with a brown and slightly charred texture arranged in the center. The final layer consists of thin, crispy golden strips scattered over the meat, with green herb sprinkles adding small bursts of color for garnish. The background is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
