Lamb or Pork Souvlaki With Fresh Veggies image

So tasty!!!! I prefer pork but this recipe was originally created by Sandi Richard using lamb. You don't have much work to do and most of it is the night before. I did NOT include marinating time. Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs boneless lamb (about 1.5 lbs after trimming fat) or 2 lbs pork (about 1.5 lbs after trimming fat)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic, minced (from a jar is fine)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon red wine (Or red wine vinegar)
1 medium red onion
2 assorted coloured bell peppers
6 bamboo skewers

Steps:

  • Soak skewers in water overnight. It makes it a lot easier to skewer the meat and the meat has to marinate overnight anyway.
  • Cut lamb or pork into 2" cubes. Place cubes in a re-sealable freezer bag. Combine olive oil, garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt, pepper, lemon juice and red wine in a small bowl.
  • Pour olive oil mixture over meat in freezer bag. Seal bag and squish around until meat cubes are coated. Place in fridge overnight.
  • Chop red onion into eighths. You will have 8 chunks. Cut peppers into large chunks. Cover and let stand in fridge.
  • When making dinner: Preheat BBQ to med (approx 350º F).
  • Thread skewers with the meat and vegetables, alternating meat cubes with the vegetables.
  • Place skewers on BBQ. Baste skewers with any remaining marinade. Grill to desired doneness (approx 10 minutes).
