Doner Lunch Recipe

Mix the Marinade

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.

Marinate the Lamb

Cut the lamb shoulder into thin slices and add to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the Lamb

Remove the lamb from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Grill the lamb slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned and cooked through.

Make the Yogurt Sauce

In a bowl, combine plain yogurt, finely grated cucumber, chopped fresh dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Chop the Vegetables

Slice the tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Shred the iceberg lettuce.

Assemble the Pitas

Take a piece of pita bread, layer with grilled lamb, chopped vegetables, and a generous amount of yogurt sauce. Fold and wrap the pita.
