For the Lamb Souvlaki
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Marinate the Lamb
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the cubed lamb shoulder and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- 2
Prepare the Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- 3
Assemble the Souvlaki
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
- 4
Grill the Souvlaki
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness.
- 5
Serve
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the lamb souvlaki with pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and a Greek salad.
