Lamb Loin, Roast Eggplant with Tahini Dressing, Sushi Rice and Buckwheat Tortillas. Sounds strait forward enough, right? I really love the unique acidity which sushi rice lends to tortilla’s and ‘tex-mex’ style wraps. Here, sourdough starter is used to create a light, airy buckwheat tortilla, laden with pork fat. Serves yourself and three buddies.
