Introduction

This is Greek fast food at it's best. Tasty goodness for the whole family.

Method

Add olive oil to a large bowl along with the juice and zest of the lemons, oregano, thyme and salt and pepper.
Mix thoroughly and add diced lamb.
Blend through with hands ensuring meat has an even covering , cover tightly with cling film and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight if possible.
Skewer onto kebab sticks allowing one bay leaf for each kebab.
Roast on barbecue on a moderate/high heat for 12-15mins or until well browned, basting with any extra marinade frequently. (Alternately, these will cook well grilled in the oven or griddled in a pan on the hob.
Serve.

Gaynor's Tip: Delicious with couscous salad or just as they come with a squeeze of lemon for extra zing!
