5 Method / Steps
Step 1
Use a small sharp knife to cut slits in the surface of the lamb. Insert 1 garlic slice in each slit. Heat half the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the lamb and cook, turning occasionally, for 5-6 mins or until brown all over. Transfer to a slow cooker with the stock, olives, lemon and oregano. Cover and cook for 6 hours on low or until the lamb is falling off the bone. Transfer the lamb to a large baking tray. Use 2 forks to shred the meat.
Step 2
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the olives from the slow cooker to a large bowl with the lettuce, capsicum, onion, tomato and fetta. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to combine.
Step 3
Heat a clean non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook 1 wrap for 1 min each side or until lightly charred. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining wraps.
Step 4
Place the yoghurt in a small bowl. Drizzle with the remaining oil. Season.
Step 5
Serve lamb with the salad, wraps and yoghurt mixture.
