Easy Lamb Shawarma image

Lamb marinated with yogurt, lemon juices, garlic and seasonings is cooked quickly in a skillet. These sandwiches are a delight for all the senses. The lamb can be served over rice instead of being made into sandwiches. This marinade also works well with beef.

Time 6h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups plain yogurt
¼ cup distilled white vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 bay leaf
3 ½ pounds boneless leg of lamb, trimmed of fat, and cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 (8 inch) pita bread rounds
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
½ bunch fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Whisk together the yogurt, vinegar, 1/4 cup of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cinnamon, nutmeg, oregano, and bay leaf in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the thinly sliced lamb, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 6 hours to overnight.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the meat and marinade, and cook until the lamb is no longer pink, and is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir frequently as the meat cooks. Divide the cooked lamb meat among the warmed pita breads, and garnish with tomatoes, onion, and fresh mint leaves to serve.

This recipe was a waste of time. The lamb shawarma was bland and tasteless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the lamb shawarma didn't turn out as I expected. The meat was tough and the spices were overpowering.

The lamb shawarma was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add more oil or butter to the pan next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
