Lamb Souvlaki

This lamb souvlaki recipe features 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

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ⅓ cup olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
• 1 ½ pounds boneless leg of lamb, trimmed of all fat and cut into 1-inch cubes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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 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.
