Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Lamb shoulder
• 4 units Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 small Cucumber
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 small Red onion
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese
• 4 units Pita breads

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the lamb shoulder into thin strips and place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Mince 2 garlic cloves and add to the bowl with lamb.

Step 4

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to the lamb and mix thoroughly to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the lamb is marinating, prepare the tzatziki sauce. Grate the cucumber and squeeze to remove excess water.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, 2 minced garlic cloves, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.

Step 7

Thinly slice the red onion and tomatoes, then set aside.

Step 8

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated lamb to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes until browned and cooked through.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked lamb to an oven-safe dish and place in the preheated oven to keep warm while preparing the rest of the platter.

Step 10

Warm the pita breads in the oven for about 5 minutes or until soft and pliable.

Step 11

To assemble the platter, place a generous serving of cooked lamb on each plate.

Step 12

Add sliced red onions, tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and a portion of the tzatziki sauce.

Step 13

Serve each plate with a warm pita bread and additional tzatziki sauce on the side.
