EGYPTION - Shawarma-Style Lamb Pita

• Ingredients

• • 2 lbs of lamb stew meat, 2 inch cubes

• • 3 cloves of minced garlic

• • 1/2 tsp cayenne

• • 1/2 tsp paprika

• • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• • 1/2 tsp cumin

• • 3/4 tsp mace

• • 3/4 tsp salt

• • 1/2 lemon juiced

• • 1/2 cup plain yogurt

1. Prepare the Lamb

2. It's the yogurt that's going to tenderize this meat. The mace gives it that signature shawarma-spiced, kind of Middle Eastern flavor. We're going to marinate this for 12-24 hours. I can't you exactly, but if your meat is smaller you may go 12 hours, if it was as big as mine I went 24. We're going to put those on a foil wrapped pan, and boil on high for about 5 minutes per side. It depends on the size. I like it a little pink inside.

3. Tahini Sauce Ingredients

4. Now for the tahini sauce or dressing:

5. • 1/2 clove minced garlic

6. • 1 tbsp lemon juice

7. • 2 tbsp tahini, which is a sesame seed paste

8. • pinch of salt

9. • 2 tbsp cold water
