Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lamb shoulder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 medium, minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 200 grams plain yogurt
- 0.5 medium, diced cucumber
- 10 grams, chopped mint leaves
- 4 pieces pita breads
- 1 large, diced tomato
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced red onion
- 4 large leaves lettuce leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
Cut the lamb shoulder into small bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, mix together olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Add the lamb pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Place the marinated lamb onto a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until tender and cooked through.
In the meantime, prepare the yogurt sauce by combining plain yogurt, diced cucumber, and chopped mint leaves in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Warm the pita breads in the oven for a few minutes, ensuring they do not become hard.
To assemble, lay a lettuce leaf on each pita, followed by roasted lamb, diced tomato, red onion slices, and a spoonful of the yogurt sauce.
Roll the pita wraps tightly and secure with a toothpick or wrap in parchment paper to keep everything in place.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Mediterranean Lamb Wrap!
