Marinated Lamb Shawarma
Ingredients:
For the Meat:
1 lb lamb or beef (shoulder or sirloin), cubed
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
For Assembly:
4 large pita breads or flatbreads
1/2 cup prepared hummus
Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Drizzle Sauce (Tzatziki or Tahini style):
1/4 cup plain yogurt (or tahini paste)
1 tbsp lemon juice
Pinch of salt
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Marinate the Meat: In a bowl, toss the cubed meat with olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Make the Drizzle: Whisk together the yogurt/tahini, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Adjust consistency with a teaspoon of water if needed.
Cook the Meat: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated meat and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
Assemble: Lightly warm the flatbreads. Spread a layer of hummus on each flatbread. Top generously with the cooked marinated meat.
Garnish: Drizzle the sauce over the meat (replicating the photo's look) and sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley. Fold or roll the flatbread and serve hot.
