For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the marinade. If you don't have mace, you can substitute it with an equal amount of nutmeg. Serve the shawarma in warm pita bread with your favorite toppings like tahini, hummus, and a fresh salad. Marinating the lamb for the full 24 hours is highly recommended for the most tender and flavorful results. To achieve the best sear, make sure your skillet is screaming hot before adding the lamb.
