Lamb
Ingredients- 1 1/2 pounds boneless leg of Australian Lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 2 cloves minced garlic, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 4-6 large pitas
Garnish:
Chopped lettuce and tabbouleh or diced tomato
Place the lamb in a large bowl. Combine 1 tablespoon of the thyme, half the garlic and the salt and pepper, then add to the lamb and toss well. Cover and leave for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. Thread onto metal or presoaked wooden skewers.
Place the yogurt in a small bowl and add the remaining thyme and garlic and the lemon juice. Mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Broil or barbecue the kabobs over medium to high heat until cooked as desired, about 4-5 minutes each side for medium rare.
Toast the pitas lightly on the grill until just warmed, and top with the lettuce and tabbouleh or tomato. Remove the lamb from the skewers and place on salad. Drizzle with the yogurt and wrap firmly into a roll.
Tip:
The lamb can be diced and seasoned the day before and stored, covered, in the refrigerator. Allow to stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before cooking. The yogurt mixture can also be made a day ahead and refrigerated in a sealed container.
