1 boneless leg of lamb, butterflied and trimmed of excess fat (4 to 5 pounds)
3/4 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder

Steps:

  • For the ras el hanout marinade and lamb: Combine the canola oil, vinegar, cardamom, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, saffron, garlic, onions, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 cup water in a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Place the lamb in a dish large enough to hold the lamb and the marinade. Pour the marinade over and turn to coat. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • For the red pepper-walnut tahini sauce: Combine the walnuts, tahini, yogurt, vinegar, cumin, cayenne, bell peppers and some salt and pepper in a food processor and process until smooth.
  • Remove the lamb from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling, and let sit at room temperature.
  • Heat a charcoal grill for indirect heat.
  • Remove the lamb from the marinade and pat dry. Sprinkle on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until charred on both sides and cooked to medium (140 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer), about 30 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Slice into paper-thin slices across the grain. Place several slices of the meat in each pita and drizzle with the red pepper sauce.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said the lamb was cooked perfectly and the flavors were amazing. I would recommend using less red pepper flakes if you don't like spicy food.
