Ingredients:

• 1 kg (2.2 lbs) lamb shoulder or leg, thinly sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp ground paprika
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
• Salt to taste

For Serving:

• Warm pita bread or flatbreads
• Fresh vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, lettuce)
• Tzatziki or tahini sauce
• Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Lamb:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, sliced onion, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, cloves, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.
   • Add the thinly sliced lamb to the bowl and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
2. Cook the Lamb:
   • Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
   • Cook the lamb slices in batches to avoid overcrowding. Grill or sear each side for about 3-4 minutes or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Prepare the Vegetables:
   • While the lamb is cooking, slice the fresh vegetables and prepare the sauces for serving.
4. Assemble the Shawarma:
   • Warm the pita bread or flatbreads. Place a portion of the cooked lamb on each bread.
   • Top with fresh vegetables and drizzle with tzatziki or tahini sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Roll up the flatbreads and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade lamb shawarma!

Tips:​

• For extra tenderness, consider marinating the lamb with a bit of yogurt in addition to the spices.
• You can also use a vertical rotisserie if you have one for a more authentic shawarma experience.

Enjoy your delicious lamb shawarma!
