Grilled Lamb Sandwiches Recipes

GRILLED LAMB SANDWICH PLATTER

Steps:

• Make the Zesty Feta Spread: In food processor, blend garlic, cheese, red peppers and red pepper flakes until well combined and nearly smooth.
• Make the Chimichurri: In food processor, pulse garlic, parsley, cilantro, vinegar, salt and red pepper flakes until finely chopped. With processor running, drizzle in oil until all oil is incorporated.
• Make the Lamb: Preheat outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat. In small bowl, combine oregano, cumin, salt and cinnamon. Rub all sides of lamb with spice mixture. Transfer lamb to grill and cook 25 to 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F for medium-rare, turning and rotating occasionally. Transfer lamb to cutting board, cover with foil and let stand 10 minutes before slicing (internal temperature will rise 10 degrees).
• Assemble the Sandwich Platter: Thinly slice lamb and place on platter (cut only what you need for one serving per person, as meat dries out if it is pre-sliced). Arrange arugula, lemon wedges, banana peppers, onion, Zesty Feta Spread and Chimichurri on platter with lamb. Serve with sliced rye bread.

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place green onions in large roasting pan. Drizzle 1/4 cup oil over onions; toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cut baguette pieces horizontally in half. Brush cut sides of bread with remaining 3 tablespoons oil.
• Grill lamb until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 135°F. for medium-rare, turning occasionally, about 30 minutes. Transfer to platter and tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes. Working in batches, arrange green onions in single layer on grill. Grill until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board. Grill baguettes, cut side down, until golden brown, about 2 minutes.

LAMB PITA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Add the coriander, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of salt to a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the spice mixture to the lamb stew meat and use tongs to coat the meat in the spices. Set aside.
• Heat an electric pressure cooker to the sauté setting and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pot. Once the oil is shimmering, add the stew meat in batches, being sure not to overcrowd the pot. Brown the meat on all sides, about 4 minutes, then remove to a plate. Add an additional tablespoon of oil, if needed, before adding another batch of meat. Once all the meat has been browned and removed from the pot, add the red wine to deglaze, stirring and scraping the bottom to release any brown bits stuck to the base of the pot. Once the alcohol smell has burned off, 1 to 2 minutes, add the canned diced tomatoes and the browned meat. Stir to combine.
• Place the lid on the pressure cooker and seal. Set to high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once at high pressure cook for 15 minutes then allow the pressure cooker to naturally release for 10 minutes before manually venting the rest.
• While the lamb cooks, add the fresh chopped tomatoes, cucumber, onion, parsley, dill, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to a medium bowl. Toss to combine and set aside until ready to assemble.
• To assemble, slice each pita in half and open to create a pocket. Slather each side of the pocket with hummus, then add in a few pieces of romaine lettuce, covering the hummus. Next add a few spoonfuls of the cucumber-onion mixture and top with a few pieces of cooked lamb. Continue the process with the remaining ingredients.

GRILLED LAMB

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat; season lamb with salt and pepper. Thread several metal skewers through lamb in both directions to hold meat together during cooking.
• Grill lamb until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 140 degrees for medium rare, 10 to 15 minutes per side. Let the meat rest, covered, about 10 minutes. Remove the skewers. Slice the meat thinly, against the grain where possible.
