Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs lamb shoulder thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for marinade and cooking
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 4 pieces flatbread or pita warmed
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt for garlic sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tahini for garlic sauce
  • 1 cup cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1 cup tomato diced
  • ½ cup pickled turnips optional but recommended

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl For marinating the lamb
  • Large Skillet or Grill Pan For searing the lamb
  • Knife For slicing the lamb thinly
  • Tongs For handling the meat while cooking

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, paprika, and salt. Mix well and coat the lamb slices. Marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated lamb in batches, searing until golden and slightly charred on the edges.
  3. For the garlic sauce, mix Greek yogurt, tahini, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  4. Warm the flatbread and spread a layer of garlic sauce over each piece.
  5. Add the cooked lamb slices, followed by cucumbers, tomatoes, and pickled turnips.
  6. Roll the wraps tightly, slice in half, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra smoky flavor, grill the lamb instead of pan-searing.
  • Adjust seasoning in the garlic sauce to your preference.
  • Serve with a side of hummus or baba ganoush for a complete meal.
