Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 210°C. Combine cumin, coriander, cinnamon and chilli flakes in a small bowl. Place lamb in a large baking dish. Rub spice mixture over lamb and lightly spray with oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until browned.
  2. Reduce oven to 150°C. Add chicken stock to base of pan. Cover lamb with baking paper, tucking edges of paper under meat. Cover entire tray with foil. Bake for 3½-4 hours or until lamb is extremely tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  3. Transfer lamb to a plate. Cover with foil and set aside for 10 minutes to rest before coarsely shredding meat with 2 forks. Keep warm.
  4. Meanwhile, whisk pomegranate molasses, oil, lemon juice and honey in a large bowl until combined. Add cabbage, onion, capsicum and mint. Season and gently toss to combine.
  5. Spread each wrap with a little yoghurt. Top with shredded lamb and salad. Fold to enclose.

Notes

TIP: Lamb can be made up to 2 days ahead, cooled then stored in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use. Cover and reheat in a 160°C oven until just heated through.
