How To Cook Greek Style Lamb Souvlaki

Though traditionally prepared with pork I love the sweet aroma from the marinated lamb, especially through the summer months when lamb is so tender.

Note the lamb can be seared in a hot griddle pan or under a hot grill as well as on the BBQ.

Method for the skewers:

1. To marinade the skewers, mix the lemon juice, oregano, olive oil and sea salt together, then add few sprigs rosemary.
2. Pour over the lamb and marinade, cover and leave for a couple of hours turning once after 1 hour.

Method to cook:

1. Set up a BBQ for direct grilling over high heat.
2. Char the skewers on all sides. This will take approximately 5 minutes for beautiful pink lamb finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a few flakes of sea salt.
3. Serve the skewers with a Greek style feta cheese, tomato and olive salad, warm pitta breads.

To serve:

• French fries and Tzatziki.
