Best Leg Of Lamb Souvlaki Recipes

LAMB SOUVLAKI

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl. Add cubed lamb and stir until all of the lamb is coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• 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.

LAMB SOUVLAKI WITH YOGURT-GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• For souvlaki, mix first 5 ingredients to make a marinade and set aside. Distribute lamb, bell peppers, onion and tomatoes among 8 skewers. Place in a large shallow pan with marinade. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours, rotating skewers once. Heat a gas grill to medium, or use a charcoal grill and allow the coals to turn a light-ash color. Coat grill with cooking spray. Grill until lamb is medium rare and lightly charred, 5 to 8 minutes. Rotate to cook evenly. To cook in oven, broil on metal skewers 6 minutes, rotating until evenly browned. Grill or toast pitas. For sauce, puree cucumbers and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Place in a fine-screen colander and squeeze out the juice. Reserve juice and discard pulp. Whisk cucumber and lemon juices in a bowl with yogurt. Mix in garlic; season with salt and pepper. Serve with pitas and skewers.

BEST LAMB SOUVLAKI RECIPE FOR GREEK EASTER

Steps:

• Make the lamb marinade: In a medium bowl big enough to hold all the lamb pieces, mix together the garlic powder, salt, oregano and olive oil. Place the lamb in the marinade and stir gently to coat all the pieces. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Make the Greek salad: Combine the diced tomatoes with the onion, green pepper, feta cheese and kalamata olives. Stir in the olive oil and oregano, and season with salt.
• When the lamb is done marinating, place the pieces on the wooden skewers to create kebabs with about 6 pieces on each skewer. Heat a griddle or grill to high heat and place the lamb kebabs on the grill. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, rotating often to cook on all sides. Remove from the grill when done, and then grill the tomato slices until softened.
• Warm the pita bread on the grill and cut each one into quarters. To serve, place the pita pieces on a plate and layer with the kebabs, grilled tomatoes, potatoes and Greek salad.

LAMB SOUVLAKI SKEWERS

Steps:

• Put the lamb into a large bowl or strong food bag. Add the olive oil, wine, oregano, lemon zest and juice, garlic and black pepper - don't add salt yet. Mix together so that all the lamb is completely coated, then chill and marinate for at least a few hrs or overnight.
• Lift the chunks of lamb out of the marinade and thread onto 10 metal skewers, or wooden ones that have been soaked. Freeze (see freezing tips, below), or heat a grill, barbecue or griddle pan if you want to eat them straight away.
• Season the meat with salt, then cook the skewers for 10-12 mins, turning, until cooked to your liking. Serve tucked into warm flatbreads with salad and drizzle with chilli sauce and yogurt.
