Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lamb shoulder
- 60 ml olive oil
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 large cos or romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 12 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 100 grams tzatziki sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Cut the lamb shoulder into 2.5 cm (1 inch) cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Make the marinade by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the lamb pieces, ensuring they are all well coated. Cover the bowl and let the lamb marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, leaving a small amount of space between each piece.
Grill the skewers for approximately 3-4 minutes per side or until the lamb is cooked through and browned on the outside.
While the lamb is grilling, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the cucumber and red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Once the lamb is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
To assemble the wraps, lay out the lettuce leaves and distribute the cucumber slices, onion slices, cherry tomatoes, and lamb equally among them.
Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Carefully fold or wrap the lettuce around the filling to make a neat package, and serve immediately.
