Ingredients

Protein

1.50 lbs Lamb

Marinade

1 cup yogurt

2 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic minced

1 tbsp ground cumin

1 tbsp ground coriander

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground allspice

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

1 Juice of lemon

Bread

Directions

Prepare the Marinade

In a large bowl, mix yogurt, olive oil, garlic, and all the spices (cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and pepper). Add the lemon juice and whisk until well combined.

Marinate the Meat

Slice the chosen protein into thin strips. Add the strips to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, for the best flavor.

Cook the Shawarma

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil.
Cook the marinated meat in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes per batch or until the meat is fully cooked and slightly charred.

Assemble the Shawarma Wraps

Warm the pita bread or flatbread. Add the cooked meat, and top with sliced onions, tomatoes, pickles, and a drizzle of tahini or garlic sauce. Roll the bread tightly to form a wrap.

Serve

Serve immediately with a side of salad or fries.
