Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lamb shoulder
- 50 ml Olive oil
- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cucumber, diced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 unit Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 200 grams Full-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 units Keto flatbreads
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, chopped
Instructions
Start by preparing the marinade for the lamb. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Cut the lamb shoulder into strips and place them into a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the lamb, seal the bag, and massage the marinade into the meat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until nicely charred and cooked to your liking.
While the lamb is grilling, prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, remaining garlic, and fresh dill in a bowl. Season with a bit of salt and set aside.
Once the lamb is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin pieces.
Warm the keto flatbreads on the grill for about a minute on each side.
Assemble the yiros by layering the sliced lamb, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce on each flatbread.
Sprinkle with fresh mint leaves, wrap the flatbread around the filling, and serve immediately.
