Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Mix the mince, garlic, lemon zest, allspice, chopped parsley and some seasoning in a mixing bowl.
- Grease a 15 x 20cm roasting tin with ½ tbsp oil. Add the mince mix and press down firmly. Arrange the onion on top and drizzle over ½ tbsp oil. Cover with foil and roast for 20 mins, then roast, uncovered, for 15 mins or until the meat is cooked through and the onions are golden. Cover; set aside to rest for 5 mins.
- Pour the roasting juices into a bowl. Transfer the meat to a chopping board and slice into thin strips.
- Divide the tomatoes, cornichons, strips of meat and onions between the wraps. Drizzle over some cooking juices and scatter with the remaining parsley. Serve with yogurt, if you like.
