Diced Lamb...what to marinade it in?

Hi all,

I bought some diced lamb, and I would like to marinade it in something to have inside warm pitta bread. I have alot of herbs and spices in but I am not sure what to do..

Also, i have sour cream to serve with it. Is there any way I can make this a bit more interesting?

Thanks x

    Marinate it in olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, oregano, salt, pepper, then cook it really fast so that it is brown on the outside and still a little pink inside.

    I would do that too, but I'd add some grated onion, olive oil and lemon juice. Just bung onion roughly chopped in a food processor with other ingredients and blitz.

    I once did a Jamie Oliver recipe for lamb and I marinaded it in lime juice, lime zest, mint and crushed coriander seeds. Just left it over night. It was really good.
