Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 8 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or for more enhanced flavor, marinade overnight.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, making sure not to overcrowd them. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior.
Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove the lamb from the skewers and let it rest for a few minutes.
To assemble the wraps, lay out the Romaine lettuce leaves on a clean surface.
Divide the cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and avocado evenly among the lettuce leaves.
Top each with a portion of grilled lamb and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Roll the lettuce leaves gently to enclose the fillings and serve immediately.
