Lamb Shawarma

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Lamb

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, turmeric, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add the sliced lamb and mix well to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Lamb

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated lamb and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Salad

    In a bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, diced tomato, and diced cucumber. Toss to mix.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, serve a portion of rice topped with the cooked lamb. Add a side of the salad, pita bread, and drizzle with white and red sauce.
