GREEK LAMB ON SKEWERS (SOUVLAKI)

Steps:

• For the marinade: Combine first 8 ingredients.
• Cut lamb up into 1/2" thick, 1" wide, 3" long strips.
• Pour marinade over lamb and chill overnight. Turning occasionally.
• For the veggies: Combine the next 10 ingredients and let chill over night.
• Skewer meat. If using wooden skewers, soak for an hour in water first. About 8 slices per stick.
• Prepare grill. Add wood chips. Any type will do.
• Grill until meat is done, brushing often with marinade. Meat should be brown around the edges, but still a little pink in the center. Don't dry the meat out.
• Serve with warm pita. Guests should wrap a warm pita round the meat and pull the skewer our, then top their "taco" with marinated veggies, feta, and tzaziki.
• For the tzaziki: Place the yogurt in cheese cloth. Twist to bind and squeeze the yogurt. Place in colander over a bowl to drain for an hour or so.
• Peel and slice a cucumber down the middle, and spoon out the seeds.
• Grate the cucumber. Squeeze out as much juice as you can.
• In a bowl, mix the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, oil, salt, mint, and lemon juice. Let chill a few hours (over night is best).
• For the pita: Buy pita flat bread (whole breads without the pocket).
• Mix olive oil with paprika.
• Brush each piece on both sides with a little of the olive oil.
• Place on hot griddle and warm thoroughly (about a minute or so on each side).
• Serve warm.
