Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice to the spice mixture and mix well to create a marinade.
- Add the sliced lamb to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the marinated lamb slices in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the lamb is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- While the lamb is cooking, warm the pita or flatbreads on the grill or skillet for about 1 minute on each side until soft.
- Remove the lamb from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
- To assemble the shawarma, place a generous portion of the cooked lamb on each pita or flatbread. Top with sliced onions and fresh vegetables.
- Drizzle with tahini sauce or garlic sauce, then wrap the pita around the filling.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy your homemade lamb shawarma!
Notes
For a spicier kick, add more cayenne pepper. You can also substitute lamb with beef or chicken if preferred.
