Lamb Souvlaki

Ingredients

• 2 pounds lamb (trimmed of fat and cut into 1 inch pieces)
• 1/2 cup lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 medium onion (minced)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

1. 1

   Make the marinade. In a big bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, onion, and ground cumin.

2. 2

   Marinate the meat. Place the lamb cubes in the bowl and toss together so that the meat is fully covered in the marinade. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours. Prep the grill. Heat a grill, or a grill pan. If using a grill pan, add some olive oil to avoid the meat from sticking.

3. 3

   Thread the meat. Thread the meat onto metal skewers. If using bamboo skewers, make sure to soak them in water for about 30 minutes before using.

4. 4

   Grill the meat. Grill the skewered meat for about 8 to 10 minutes or until cooked to your liking.

5. 5

   Serve. Serve with pita bread, tzatziki sauce and Greek salad.
