Spiced Lamb Pancakes with Labne and Pickled Chilli Recipe
Serves 4 / makes 12
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups plain flour
1 tsp table salt
2 cup slow-cooked shredded lamb (320g) – find the master recipe for Sticky Slow-Cooked Boneless Leg of Lamb here.
2 cloves garlic, crushed
¼ tsp ground chilli flakes, plus extra to serve
1 tsp each ground cumin, coriander and mint
Vegetable oil, to shallow fry
Storebought labne, to serve
Pickled chillies, to serve
Method:
To make the pancake dough, combine the flour, salt and ½ cup water in a large bowl and use your hands to combine and form a dough. Transfer to a lightly floured bench and knead for 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic, then cover with a clean, damp tea towel and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the lamb, garlic, chilli, cumin, coriander and mint in a bowl, and season with salt and pepper.
Divide the dough into 12 portions. Roll them out onto a lightly greased surface into rounds that are 15cm wide and 3 mm thick. Spoon ¼ cup of the lamb filling into the centre of the circle. Fold the edges onto each other to seal, and gently roll with a rolling pin to seal. Repeat with remaining filling and dough.
Heat 2cm of oil in large, heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Cook in batches for 2 minutes each side, or until golden and lightly charred. Set aside and keep warm. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
Serve with labne, pickled chillies and extra chilli flakes.
