Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lamb shoulder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces pita bread
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 tomato, diced
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce (soy-free)
Instructions
Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the lamb shoulder against the grain into strips approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the lamb slices to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the marinated lamb strips for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness and well-charred around the edges.
While the lamb is cooking, warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1-2 minutes per side until slightly toasted.
Assemble the yiros by placing a few slices of grilled lamb on each warmed pita.
Top with diced cucumber, diced tomato, and thinly sliced red onion.
Drizzle with soy-free Tzatziki sauce.
Fold the pita to enclose the filling and serve immediately.
