Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Lamb:
1 pound ground lamb
1/2 cup yellow or red onion, ﬁnely chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, ﬁnely grated
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt
Pepper
Ramp Raita:
8 ramps, just the greens, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cup yogurt
Wraps:
4 large ﬂour tortillas or wraps
2 Persian cucumbers, sliced very thin on a mandoline
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
Fresh cilantro sprigs, about 1/4 bunch
Greens or microgreens

Steps:

In a medium bowl, mix the spiced lamb ingredients with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
Next, combine the ramp raita ingredients with a couple of pinches of salt and give it a good stir. Cover and refrigerate that too.
Remove the lamb mixture from the fridge and uncover. Shape into elongated patties, about 5 inches long, and ﬂatten slightly; you should have 10 total.
Turn broiler to high and place the lamb patties on a small sheet pan. Broil for 10 minutes. Do not turn them halfway through cooking- it will ruin the texture. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Heat the tortillas (either in the microwave or using tongs to hold them over an open ﬂame for a few seconds) to make them more pliable.
On a piece of wax paper, place a tortilla, spread some raita on it, then top with a few slices of cucumber, onion, 2-3 lamb patties, a couple of sprigs of cilantro, and microgreens. Roll the tortilla pretty tightly using the wax paper. Twist the edges so all the ingredients are snug inside (like a Tootsie Roll). Let it sit 5 minutes before slicing in half.
