Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, olive oil, grated onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper for the marinade.

   Aproximativ 5 min.

2. 2

   Add the thinly sliced lamb shoulder to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

   Nota bucătarului: Marinating longer will result in more tender and flavorful meat.

3. 3

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

   Aproximativ 10 min.

4. 4

   Arrange the marinated lamb in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

   Aproximativ 2 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking and browning.

5. 5

   Roast the lamb for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly browned at the edges. You can also finish under the broiler for a few minutes for extra crispiness, watching carefully to prevent burning.

   Aproximativ 20 min.

   Nota bucătarului: The lamb should be tender but have some crispy bits.

6. 6

   While the lamb is cooking, prepare the sauce by whisking together the yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill (if using), and salt in a small bowl.

   Aproximativ 5 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Adjust the seasoning of the sauce to your taste.

7. 7

   Warm the pita bread according to package instructions, typically in a dry pan or microwave.

   Aproximativ 3 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Warm pita is more pliable and enjoyable.

8. 8

   To assemble your kebabs, open the warm pita bread and fill with the roasted lamb, sliced tomato, sliced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and shredded lettuce.

   Aproximativ 5 min.

9. 9

   Drizzle generously with the prepared yogurt sauce before serving.
