Dürüm

Thin lavash bread tightly rolled around grilled meat, salad, and spicy ezme sauce for a portable Turkish wrap.

Ingredients

• 400g lamb shoulder
• 400g pide bread
• a handful of minced garlic
• a pinch of dried mint
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• a generous handful of green peppers
• a handful of fresh dill, chopped
• plain yogurt, to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the rice pilaf base and set it aside to rest while you get the filling ready.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the beef sirloin, red onions, minced garlic, and dried mint, mixing well so everything is evenly seasoned.

3. 3

   Heat unsalted butter in a skillet, wok, or on a griddle over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4. 4

   Cook the rice pilaf until lightly golden on each side, then transfer to a warm plate.

5. 5

   Fry, grill, or steam the beef sirloin mixture until cooked through and lightly charred at the edges, about 10 mins.

6. 6

   Assemble by layering the rice pilaf with the filling, a spoonful of toasted pine nuts, and a scattering of parsley.

7. 7

   Add a final touch of butter-fried pita for extra flavor and texture.
