For Shawarma

2

Place the mushrooms, lamb and onion in a large bowl.

3

Roughly chop the preserved lemons, discarding any pips. Place the lemon in a small blender/processor with the garlic and spices.

4

Add 1 tsp of ground black pepper and 3 Tbsp olive oil. Blitz well and then pour over the lamb mixture. Use clean hands to massage the marinade over all the ingredients and then set aside to marinate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight.
