Ingredients
Scale
Fritter Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas, mashed
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2–3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional, to bind)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Wrap Ingredients
- 4 large wraps or flatbreads
- Fresh lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Plain yogurt or tzatziki sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the fritter mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, mashed chickpeas, ground cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, pepper, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, beaten egg, chopped parsley, and optional flour. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and the mixture holds together.
- Form the fritters: Using your hands, shape the lamb and chickpea mixture into small patties or fritters about 2-3 inches in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
- Fry the fritters: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the fritters in batches. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain proper heat and crispness.
- Prepare the wraps: Warm the wraps or flatbreads slightly in a dry pan or microwave for flexibility. Lay fresh lettuce and tomato slices on each wrap.
- Assemble the wraps: Place 2-3 warm lamb chickpea fritters onto each prepared wrap. Drizzle with plain yogurt or tzatziki sauce if desired for a cool, creamy element. Roll or fold the wraps securely.
- Serve: Serve the Lamb Chickpea Fritter Wraps immediately while warm as a flavorful meal perfect for lunch or dinner.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute ground lamb with falafel mix or extra chickpeas.
- Adjust spices to taste based on preference or desired heat level.
- To bind fritters better, add a bit more flour or an extra egg if mixture feels loose.
- These fritters can also be baked at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes for a lighter version.
- Serve with fresh herbs like cilantro or mint for additional flavor freshness.
