I recently shared a recipe on how to cook tender and fragrant roasted lamb https://takajaeda.com/en/recipes-en/roast-leg-of-lamb/. With the participation of such lamb, you can cook this sandwich. This lamb sandwich with onion, cheese and sauce is delicious and juicy.
Ingredients (for 2 servings):
- Roasted lamb – 300 gr.
- Onion – 0.5 pcs.
- Cheese – 100 gr.
- Baguette (or ciabatta)
Sauce
- Greek yogurt – 2-3 heaped tb.spoons
- Mayonnaise – 1 tbsp
- Pickled cucumber – 1 pc. small size
- Red onion – optional
- Dill – several branches
- Pickled jalapeno peppers (optional for spiciness)
Cooking process
I must say right away that it is most convenient to cook such a closed sandwich using an electric grill. But, if you don’t have it, then you can make it in a pan.
1 Baguette cut into several pieces. Cut each part along, but not completely. Fry the inside of the bread until light golden and light crust.
2 Onion cut into half rings. Fry until soft.
Add thinly sliced baked lamb to the onion. Mix. Heat for 2 minutes.
Add grated cheese on a coarse grater. Mix. The filling for the sandwich is ready.
Put the finished filling on one half of the baguette. Cover with the other half of the bread and bake for 1 minute. The bread becomes slightly crispy on the outside as well.
3 Prepare the sauce for our sandwich. Mix Greek yogurt and mayonnaise. Add very finely chopped pickled cucumber and chopped dill. Also, if desired, finely chopped pickled jalapeno peppers and red salad onions can be added to the sauce. The sauce is very fresh. It goes great with lamb.
Spread the finished sauce on the filling.
A hearty and juicy lamb sandwich is ready.
If the baguette in this dish is replaced with thin lavash, then you get something like shawarma.
