Souvlaki (Skewered Grilled Lamb)

Servings:8 to 10

A simple Greek-style marinade with just a few delicious ingredients tenderizes and enhances the flavor of the lamb and vegetables. You can substitute chicken or beef, if you like. Add a dollop oftzatzikifor a creamy-cool-tangy topping.

  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil; more for drizzling
  • 1茶匙干牛至
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3-1/2 lb. boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 large green bell peppers, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 large red onion, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces, layers separated
  • Fresh oregano, for serving (optional)
  • Tzatziki, for serving
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • 4 whole-grain pita breads (optional)

Preparation

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, oregano, 2-1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper. Put the lamb and vegetables in two separate medium bowls. Divide the marinade between the bowls, toss, and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. (Alternatively, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 3 hours or up to overnight.)
  • Prepare a medium-high (400°F to 475°F) gas- or charcoal-grill fire.
  • Thread the lamb onto metal skewers, alternating with pieces of onion and bell pepper. Leave enough space between each piece to ensure even cooking. If there are leftover vegetables, thread them onto a separate skewer. Generously season the skewers with salt and pepper. Grill the skewers for about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare lamb or to your desired doneness. Let the souvlaki rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • 将串口转移到大盘子中。撒上新鲜的牛至。与tzatziki和柠檬楔子一起食用。如果与Pitas一起食用,请轻轻烤Pitas或在325°F烤箱中加热5至7分钟。

    Great flavor. If you can marinate overnight the lamb is really tender. I minced one good sized garlic clove into the mix - seemed wrong not to.
