Lamb Shawarma or Gyros

Pairing: Lamb Shawarma or Gyros

Lamb (2 lbs, thinly sliced): The main protein, providing a rich, gamey flavor.
Garlic (4 cloves, minced): Adds an aromatic depth to the marinade.
Yogurt (1 cup): Used in the tzatziki sauce, balancing the spices with its tangy creaminess.
Cumin, coriander, paprika (1 teaspoon each): Key spices that give shawarma or gyros their signature flavor.
Olive oil (2 tablespoons): Helps to marinate and tenderize the lamb.
Pita bread: A soft, warm wrap for the meat and vegetables

Marinate the lamb: Combine minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, coriander, and paprika in a bowl. Coat the lamb slices with the marinade and let sit for 1-2 hours to absorb the flavors.
Cook the lamb: Grill the marinated lamb over medium heat, turning occasionally until cooked through and slightly charred (about 10-15 minutes).
Prepare the tzatziki: In a bowl, mix yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and lemon juice to make the tzatziki sauce.
Assemble the shawarma: Serve the grilled lamb in warm pita bread with onions, tomatoes, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce. Garnish with parsley or additional herbs.
