Muktuk Wraps

Muktuk Wraps are a delightful fusion of traditional Indian flavors and wholesome ingredients, wrapped in fresh greens for a healthy lunch option. This dish features tender muktuk, a nutrient-rich delicacy, paired with vibrant vegetables and aromatic spices.

Ingredients

• Muktuk (whale skin and blubber) - 200 grams
• Romaine lettuce leaves - 4 large leaves
• Red onion - 50 grams, thinly sliced
• Cucumber - 100 grams, julienned
• Carrot - 100 grams, julienned
• Fresh cilantro - 20 grams, chopped
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Begin by preparing the muktuk: rinse it under cold water and pat dry. Cut it into bite-sized pieces.
2. In a bowl, combine the muktuk pieces, cumin powder, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
3. While the muktuk is marinating, prepare the vegetables: julienne the cucumber and carrot, and thinly slice the red onion.
4. After marinating, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the muktuk. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through and slightly crispy.
5. To assemble the wraps, take a romaine lettuce leaf and place a portion of the cooked muktuk in the center. Add a handful of julienned cucumber, carrot, and some red onion slices.
6. Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top and wrap the lettuce around the filling. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
7. Serve the Muktuk Wraps immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side.
