For the Meat
In a small bowl, mix together the spices until fully combined.
Remove meat from bones.
Use a meat tenderizer or heavy pestle to pound the meat to half its original thickness.
In a shallow baking dish, toss meat with vegetable oil and 3 teaspoon of the spice mix until fully coated. Allow to marinate for 30-60 minutes.
Brush a grill pan with cooking oil, then heat over medium-high heat.
Grill strips of meat, about 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
Assembling the shawarma
Mix the Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill, garlic and shawarma seasoning in a small bowl. Cover and place in the refrigerator until time to serve.
Start with a warm pita and spread 2 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce and 2 tablespoons of hummus in the middle.
Layer with lamb, then top with onion, tomato and lettuce, if you wish.
Fold and serve.
