Instructions

1. Prep: Separate romaine leaves (choose the cup-shaped ones). Dice cucumber and tomatoes. Chop dill. Mince garlic and onion.
2. Quick yogurt sauce: Stir yogurt with half the dill, 1 minced garlic clove, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate until serving.
3. Warm tomato pan-sauce (stove): Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a skillet over medium. Add half the onion and 1 minced garlic clove; cook 2 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, pinch of salt, and optional chili flakes. Simmer 6–8 minutes until saucy. Scrape into a bowl.
4. Cook lamb (same skillet): Wipe out if needed, then heat remaining oil over medium-high. Add remaining onion; cook 2 minutes. Add ground lamb, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Break up and cook until browned and cooked through, 6–8 minutes. Stir in the last minced garlic clove for the final 30 seconds.
5. Assemble: Lay romaine leaves on plates. Spoon in warm spiced lamb, top with a little tomato sauce, diced cucumber, and remaining dill. Dollop yogurt sauce on top or on the side.
6. Serve: Eat like lettuce cups with extra lemon wedges. (If you want a starch side, add toasted pita or warm rice—optional.)
