Lamb Shawarma

 

DifficultyBeginner
Lamb spiced with Shawarma, marinated for tenderness and flavour, wapped in Pita with tangy Tarator sauce! Oh yeah...s, and

The secret to tasty, tender, tangy lamb is not only our amazing shawarma spice mix, but also marinating the lamb fillets in lemon juice for both tenderness and bold flavour.

Wrapped in freshly baked Alamir Bakery Pita Bread, and topped with vegetables and sumac, the final touch of deliciousness is the liberal dressing with garlicky Alamir Bakery Tarator (tahini dressing). Bon Appetit!
