Toppings and Serving

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Add Lamb

    Add the lamb strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Oven

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 4

    Cook Lamb

    Remove the lamb from the marinade and thread the pieces onto skewers. Grill or roast the lamb for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through to your desired doneness.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare Pita and Toppings

    While the lamb is cooking, prepare the toppings. Dice the cucumber and tomato, slice the red onion, and chop the parsley.

  2. 6

    Assemble Shawarma

    Once the lamb is cooked, remove it from the skewers and place it inside the pita bread. Top with diced cucumber, tomato, red onion, parsley, and a drizzle of tahini sauce.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the lamb shawarma immediately while still warm, with additional tahini on the side if desired.
