Lamb Shawarma Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, turmeric, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Meat

    Cut the lamb and beef into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Ensure the meat is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill or vertical spit to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Meat

    Thread the marinated meat onto skewers or arrange them on the vertical spit. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through and slightly charred.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Shawarma

    Once cooked, remove the meat from the skewers or spit. Slice the meat thinly and serve in pita or flatbread with fresh vegetables and tahini sauce.
