Ingredients
Greek Style Lamb Kebabs
- 60 ml olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 2 cloves garlic crushed or grated
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano plus extra for garnish
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 900 g lamb leg steaks diced into small cubes (or buy the lamb pre-diced)
You will also need...
- 8 skewers ideally metal – if using wooden skewers see note
Instructions
- Mix together all the ingredients (except the lamb) in a large bowl. Add in the lamb cubes and turn the lamb in the marinade until well coated. Cover with clingfilm and marinate for 2 hours in the fridge, or if you don’t have time, simply continue with the recipe.
- Remove the lamb from the fridge 15 minutes before you need it, if you can, to allow it to come up to room temperature. Thread the cubes of lamb onto the skewers (see note if using wooden skewers), so you have a roughly even amount of lamb on each of the 8 skewers.
- Get your BBQ/grill/griddle pan nice and hot and cook the lamb for 3-4 minutes on each side until slightly charred on the outside, but still soft and juicy on the inside (test a little cube if you’re not sure – cooks perk, eh?).
- Serve sprinkled with a little more oregano.
Notes
- (1) If you are using wooden skewers, make sure you soak them well in water before using them so they don’t burn.(2) If you have the time, allow 2 hours for marinating.
