Method

Prepare the Lamb Kabobs

  1. 1

    Marinate the Lamb

    In a large bowl, combine the cubed lamb, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to ensure the lamb is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

  2. 2

    Skewer the Lamb

    After marinating, thread the lamb cubes onto skewers, leaving some space between each piece to allow for even cooking. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to use to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Grill the Kabobs

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the lamb skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of at least 145°F for medium-rare.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the kabobs for added flavor.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Prepare the Pita

    Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or on the grill for a minute on each side until soft and pliable.

  2. 6

    Fill the Pita

    Carefully open each pita pocket and stuff it with grilled lamb kabobs, sliced cucumber, sliced tomato, and thinly sliced red onion.

  3. 7

    Add Sauce

    Top the stuffed pita with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce for added creaminess and flavor.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Serve the lamb kabob sandwiches immediately, with optional extra tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping.
