Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Lamb

    In a bowl, combine minced garlic, rosemary, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Rub this mixture all over the lamb shoulder and let it marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, let the coals burn down until they are covered with white ash.

  3. 3

    Cook the Lamb

    Place the marinated lamb shoulder on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (medium-rare).

  4. 4

    Make the Yogurt Sauce

    In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well and season with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the lamb is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the slices of lamb with the yogurt sauce and warm pita bread.
