Ingredients

• 2 pieces Lamb loin chops
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 pieces Whole grain flatbreads
• 0.5 cup Cucumber, sliced
• 1 medium Tomato, sliced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, dried oregano, and black pepper to form a marinade.

Step 2

Place the lamb loin chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare the yogurt tahini sauce by combining Greek yogurt, tahini, and a tablespoon of lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 4

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the lamb for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Warm the whole grain flatbreads on a dry skillet or in the oven until soft.

Step 6

Slice the rested lamb thinly.

Step 7

To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of yogurt tahini sauce on each flatbread.

Step 8

Layer with sliced cucumber, tomato, and red onion.

Step 9

Add the sliced lamb on top of the vegetables.

Step 10

Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and mint leaves over the lamb.

Step 11

Fold the flatbread over the filling and serve immediately.
