## Steps

1. Cut the lamb into small pieces and strips, bite-sized for eating.
2. Mix the marinade well in a large bowl and thoroughly coat the meat in it. Cover the bowl and leave the meat to marinate in the fridge for 12–24 hours. (1440 min)
3. Cover the bowl and leave the meat to marinate in the fridge for 12–24 hours. (1440 min)
4. Remove the meat from the marinade with a slotted spoon, discarding the excess marinade.
5. Heat a little oil in a large frying pan and fry the meat in small batches over medium-high heat until golden. It's important to fry a small amount of meat at a time, otherwise it will release too much liquid and start to stew instead of fry. (15 min)
6. Assemble the shawarma with the filling while the meat is still hot and steaming.
