Ingredients
- 1 pound lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 8 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 2
Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or for more enhanced flavor, marinade overnight.
Step 3
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, making sure not to overcrowd them. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior.
Step 5
Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness.
Step 6
Remove the lamb from the skewers and let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 7
To assemble the wraps, lay out the Romaine lettuce leaves on a clean surface.
Step 8
Divide the cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and avocado evenly among the lettuce leaves.
Step 9
Top each with a portion of grilled lamb and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Step 10
Roll the lettuce leaves gently to enclose the fillings and serve immediately.
