Souvlaki Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Marinate the Lamb
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the cubed lamb and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for better flavor.

Prepare Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, they can be used directly.

Assemble Souvlaki
Thread the marinated lamb pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
- 4
Grill the Souvlaki
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Serve
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with pita bread, tzatziki, and fresh vegetables.
