Lamb Souvlaki
A classic favourite! Lamb souvlaki grilled to perfection!
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1½ chopped fresh oregano
- 1 chopped fresh or dried rosemary
- 1 chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 tsp quality sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1½ lb boneless leg of lamb, 3/4" cubed
Directions
- Soak wooden skewers (if using wood) in warm water for a minimum of 8 hours before preparing the dish. This will prevent the ends from burning.
- Mix olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs and together. Add cubed lamb. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Skewer lamb onto skewers, leaving no space between them, set aside.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high for 5 minutes. Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill lamb skewers for approximately 2 minutes per side, rotating them to all 4 sides, for a total of 8 minutes. Baste the skewers with remaining marinating liquid after each turn.
