Method
- Place the lamb, chopped rosemary, half the chopped garlic and 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a bowl, season well with salt and pepper and mix well with your hands. Push the lamb onto skewers, cover and set aside. Heat a griddle pan on a high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil and, when very hot, cook the courgettes for 1-2 mins on each side or until there are clear black griddle lines. Remove from the pan.
- Place the carrot and onion in a bowl, add vinegar, sugar and a little salt and pepper, and toss together. Place the yogurt, mint (if using) and remaining garlic in another bowl, stir to combine and season to taste.
- Reheat the griddle pan on a high heat, add the lamb skewers to the pan and cook for 8 mins, turning halfway through. Heat another large frying pan on a high heat and warm each tortilla wrap for 30 secs on each side until they start to brown.
- Fill each tortilla with the lamb pieces, courgette, pickled carrot, mint yogurt and spinach leaves and roll up and serve.
- Tip: Marinating the lamb for 2-3 hrs before cooking will intensify the flavours. You can even marinate it in the fridge overnight.
