Lamb Souvlaki

Lamb Souvlaki

Lamb souvlaki with marinated pieces of lamb, threaded on skewers, and char-grilled to perfection. I like to serve these with rosemary garlic roasted potatoes, a Greek salad, and pita bread.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless leg of lamb, trimmed of all fat and cut into 1-inch cubes

Directions

Step 1
Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl. Add cubed lamb and stir until lamb is coated with marinade. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours, or overnight.

Step 2
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 3
Thread marinated lamb onto skewers, reserving any remaining marinade. Grill skewers until desired doneness, 10 to 12 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade and turning occasionally for even cooking.
