Report
Delicious grilled lamb souvlaki skewers with rich, smoky garlic, oregano, and lemon flavor.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 boneless leg of lamb
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 tablespoon basil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper fresh ground
- 1 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Remove excess fat, silver skin, and bone from your lamb. Cut the lamb into small, but uniform pieces, about 1”-1.5” square.
- Combine the zest and juice your lemon, diced garlic, remaining dry ingredients, and olive oil. Mix well and then add your lamb. Marinate in the fridge. I like to store the marinading lamb in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. I recommend you allow the lamb to marinate for at least 30-45 minutes ideally 24 hours.
- When you’re ready to cook the lamb, place it on skewers keeping pieces of the same size together.
- Heat a grill to medium high. Cook the skewers, turning regularly until they are brown on all sides and reach an internal temperature of 130F degrees for medium doneness.
- Remove lamb from the grill and let rest for 5-7 minutes before serving. You can serve still on the skewer, or remove it from the skewer before serving.
