Lamb and Lemon Souvlaki

LambGreek

Ingredients

Steps

Pound the garlic with sea salt in a pestle and mortar (or use a small food processor), until the garlic forms a paste
Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, zest, dill and garlic
Mix in the lamb and combine well
Cover and marinate for at least 2 hrs or overnight in the fridge
If you’re going to use bamboo skewers, soak them in cold water
If you’ve prepared the lamb the previous day, take it out of the fridge 30 mins before cooking
Thread the meat onto the soaked or metal skewers
Heat the grill to high or have a hot griddle pan or barbecue ready
Cook the skewers for 2-3 mins on each side, basting with the remaining marinade
Heat the pitta or flatbreads briefly, then stuff with the souvlaki
Add Greek salad (see 'Goes well with', right) and Tzatziki (below), if you like.
