Lamb Shawarma

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Lamb

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced lamb, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well to coat the lamb evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for better flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Lamb

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated lamb slices for about 8-10 minutes or until browned and cooked through, flipping occasionally. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into smaller pieces.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Pita

    Warm the pita bread slightly on the grill or in a skillet. Fill each pita pocket with a generous amount of the cooked lamb, then top with diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with yogurt sauce or tahini sauce.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the lamb shawarma pitas warm and enjoy!
