Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 2 lbs Lamb shoulder, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp Ground coriander
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Tahini sauce for serving(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and all the dry spices.

  2. 2

    Add the thinly sliced lamb to the marinade and toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated.

  3. 3

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, though overnight is preferred for maximum flavor.

  4. 4

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Spread the lamb slices in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even browning.

  6. 6

    Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the edges are crispy and charred.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven and let the meat rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.

  8. 8

    Serve hot inside warm pita bread with tahini, sliced onions, and fresh parsley.
