Lamb and Lemon Souvlaki
Ingredients
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tsp Sea Salt
- 4 tbs Olive Oil
- Zest and juice of 1 Lemon
- 1 tbs Dill
- 750g Lamb Leg
- To serve Pita Bread
Steps
- Pound the garlic with sea salt in a pestle and mortar (or use a small food processor), until the garlic forms a paste.
- Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, zest, dill and garlic.
- Mix in the lamb and combine well.
- Cover and marinate for at least 2 hrs or overnight in the fridge.
- If you’re going to use bamboo skewers, soak them in cold water.
- If you’ve prepared the lamb the previous day, take it out of the fridge 30 mins before cooking.
- Thread the meat onto the soaked or metal skewers.
- Heat the grill to high or have a hot griddle pan or barbecue ready.
- Cook the skewers for 2-3 mins on each side, basting with the remaining marinade.
- Heat the pitta or flatbreads briefly, then stuff with the souvlaki.
- Add Greek salad (see 'Goes well with', right) and Tzatziki (below), if you like.
