Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • Left over lamb (deboned) and shredded or sliced
  • 1 tbsp of oil
  • Zest From One Orange
  • Zest from One Lemon
  • pinch of cardamom
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • pinch of black pepper
  • salt to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley
  • Pita Bread
  • Hummus
  • Thinly sliced onion
  • Cucumbers or pickled cucumbers (cucumbers sliced thinly and marinated with a tiny bit of salt and dash of vinegar)

Directions

  1. In a saute pan. Add oil, once it’s hot add the lamb along with the zest of lemon, orange along with the powdered cardamom, powdered cinnamon, black pepper and salt. Stir it together to ensure the flavors permeate through the lamb. Take it off the heat and then sprinkle it with a liberal dose of freshly chopped parsley.

  2. To assemble, warm a pita with a small dollop of butter (everything tastes better with butter). Place a nice heaping bunch of lamb in the middle of the pita, top it with sliced onions, pickled cucumbers and a nice few dollops of hummus. Roll it and secure it with a toothpick and serve it with a simple salad or fruit salad.
