I just made the most amazing gyros type thing. There's a great Persian market in Irvine that makes fresh bread (sangak?) but you can use pita instead.
olive oil
1 1/2 lb boneless leg of lamb, cut into large (2x2) chunks
Rub:
2 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp crushed red pepper
pinch salt
pinch pepper
Yogurt Sauce:
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1 tbsp honey
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tbsp minced red onion
5 fresh mint leaves, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
Sandwich:
hummus
Red onion slices
tomato slices
cucumber slices
lettuce leaf
etc.
- Heat olive oil in a pan, medium high. Meanwhile, mix rub spices together and sprinkle over lamb chunks, on all sides.
- Put lamb into heated pan and cook each side for 1-2 minutes. Cover and reduce heat to low/medium-low. Depends on how much you have to slice/mince.
- Meanwhile, slice your veggies and mix together yogurt sauce ingredients.
- Remove lamb chunks from pan and slice for sandwich.
- Spread yogurt sauce and hummus on sangak or pita.
- Put together your sandwich/wrap and enjoy!!
Where do you get lamb? Seems so random.
