This savory stuffed pancake brings the flavors of Middle Eastern street food to your kitchen using accessible spring roll wrappers for the perfect crunch. Filled with a robust mixture of spiced ground lamb, fresh leeks, and egg, it makes for an addictive appetizer or light meal.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground lamb and garlic to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and cooked through.
Stir in the cumin, coriander, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled lamb mixture, chopped leeks, and beaten eggs. Mix well.
Lay a spring roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 3 tablespoons of the filling in the center.
Fold the bottom of the wrapper up over the filling, then fold the top down. Fold the left and right sides in to form a sealed square packet.
Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Carefully place the packets seam-side down in the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until the wrapper is golden brown and crispy and the egg filling is set.
Drain on paper towels, cut into smaller squares, and serve hot with lime wedges.
