Lamb Shawarma

Ingredients

• 0.5 cups plain yogurt
• 0.25 cups water
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 cups chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic , minced
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.13 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.13 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.75 teaspoons ground mace
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 5 pounds boneless lamb shoulder , cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the yogurt, water, lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, onion, and garlic into a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the salt, black pepper, cumin, nutmeg, clove, mace, and cayenne pepper until evenly blended. Mix in the lamb strips to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator 12 to 24 hours (the longer the better).

2. 2

   Heat a large skillet over high heat. Cook the lamb strips in a single layer in batches until the fat melts and the meat has browned and is no longer pink on the inside, about 5 minutes, turning occasionally.
