Ingredients

• 500 grams Lamb loin or shoulder, trimmed and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 Ripe avocados
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 8 large leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato, thinly sliced
• 0.5 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 0.5 small Red onion, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the sliced lamb to the marinade and mix well to ensure the lamb is thoroughly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

While the lamb is marinating, prepare the avocado spread by mashing the ripe avocados in a bowl. Stir in chopped cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

Prepare the vegetables by slicing the tomato, cucumber, and red onion.

Step 5

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated lamb slices and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are well-browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

Step 6

To assemble the sandwiches, lay two large romaine lettuce leaves overlapping slightly to form a sturdy base.

Step 7

Spread a generous amount of avocado mixture on the lettuce, then layer with cooked lamb slices, tomato, cucumber, and red onion.

Step 8

Fold the lettuce wraps into a sandwich shape, securing with a toothpick if needed, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Paleo Mediterranean Lamb Sandwich!
