Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course: Shawarma Spiced Chicken Wraps

Hey guys,

     So here's another recipes form Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course. I'll be doing the usual cooking through it and supplying any notes and information that may help and benefit you in the making of this recipe.

Here is the recipe I will be using:
Edits/Notes will be made in ORANGE


Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

4 Boneless, skinless chicken breast
2-4 tortilla wraps Naan bread would also be a tasty substitute 
Olive oil, for frying
2 spring onions, trimmed and finely shredded (This may get nontraditional  however, if you're feeling experimental try making caramelized or sweet and sour onions) Sweet and sour onions are made by putting red onions to a mandolin and flash sauteing them in honey and wine vinegar then put in a sealed container)
1/4 head of pointed cabbage, finally chopped

For the Marinade

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground coriander
Seeds from 3 cardamon pods, ground in a mortar
Pinch of freshly ground nutmeg
2 garlic cloves, peeled
Juice of 1/4 lemon
Small bunch of coriander, leaves chopped
Oilive oil
Seas salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
  1. First make the marinade. Place the spices, garlic, lemon juice and coriander in a small blender or mortar and grind until smooth. Add 5 tablespoons of olive oil, along with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, and blend again to mix well. Transfer the marinade into a large dish. Add the chicken and rub in the marinade, making sure that all of the chicken is covered. Leave to marinade for up to 2 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200C
  3. Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and cook on the hot griddle for 3-4 minutes on each side until slightly charred but not burnt. Transfer to a roasting tray and finish cooking in the oven for 5-8 minutes. Leave the chicken to rest.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the tortilla wraps in batches in a single layer on the cleaned, slightly oiled griddle pan. Toast on each side for 2 minutes or until the wraps are hot all the way through but still pliable. Keep warm.
  5. Remove the chicken from the oven and slice into bite-sized chunks (For a more neat tortilla, cut the chicken diagonally into strips). Place some chicken on each warm wrap and sprinkle with spring onions and shredded cabbage. Add mayonnaise and chili sauce to taste, then roll up the wraps to serve.
To Serve

Mayonnaise
Chili sauce or sauce of your choice


See you guys around,
