Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 lb. lamb leg or shoulder, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
1/3 cup olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon cumin powder
2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
1 tablespoon ground black pepper

Steps:

Marinate the lamb. Add cubed lamb into a zip-loc bag, and add 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, cumin, salt and pepper. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Press the marinade around the lamb to coat. Place in the fridge to marinate at least 30 minutes or overnight, to infuse all the seasoning and spices into the meat.
. Thread the lamb onto skewers, and lightly brush some olive oil.
. Preheat a grill pan over medium high heat for 4-5 minutes and lightly brush the grill with remaining olive oil. You should notice the oil shimmer and sizzle when it's hot and ready. Grill the lamb skewers for 8-10 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature for the lamb reaches 155 F. For well done, cook 1-2 more minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches above 160 F.

GREEK SOUVLAKI

Greek Souvlaki image

This is posted in response to a request for "skewer" recipes. A real coincidence as this was being prepared on the food network by Nick Makris from Nick's Diner in Regina Sask - it looked SO GOOD I just had to post it. Use pork or lamb - serving with pita bread is optional but tzatziki is a must! Prep time includes a minimum of 2 hours for marinating.

GREEK LAMB ON SKEWERS (SOUVLAKI)

Greek Lamb on Skewers (Souvlaki) image

I spent a lot of time in Greece and this was by far my favorite dish. I love it served on a hot pita with marinated onions, tomatoes, and feta cheese; all topped with garlicky tzaziki sauce. I'm not sure where I got this recipe, but I've been making it for years with great success. Serve with fried calamari and French fries. Make a lot of tzaziki so there is plenty for dipping. Time to prep does not include the very important marinade time.

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 29

Ingredients

1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 garlic clove (minced)
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons dried oregano leaves
3 lbs lamb
4 tomatoes (cut into wedges)
2 onions (cut into strips)
1/2 lb feta cheese (cubed)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove (crushed)
2 tablespoons dill (chopped)
1 teaspoon dry oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups yogurt
1/2 cup cucumber (peeled, seeded, grated)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried mint
1 tablespoon lemon juice
12 pita breads
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika

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.

LAMB SKEWER PITAS

Lamb Skewer Pitas image

One of my favorite things to get at a Greek restaurant is souvlaki. You can get this dish with chicken, pork or lamb. My mother cooked a lot of lamb growing up, so when I order souvlaki, I always get lamb.

Ingredients

1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup finely chopped English cucumber
1/4 cup grated onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 pound ground lamb
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for brushing
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 clove garlic, grated
4 to 6 pitas
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for brushing
1 teaspoon zaatar
1 cup thinly-sliced English cucumber
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 small red onion, thinly sliced (but not too thin) into half-moons
1 large beefsteak tomato, cut into half-moons
1/2 head fresh fennel, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt, sour cream, cucumber, onion, dill, vinegar, cumin, honey, salt, cinnamon, pepper and garlic until combined. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
Make the lamb skewers: In a large bowl, combine the lamb, oil, coriander, cumin, salt, allspice, cinnamon and garlic until evenly coated. Divide the meat into 6 portions and form into logs. Thread each log onto a skewer, then transfer to a plate, cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Heat a cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat until very hot. Brush the griddle with oil. Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
To serve: Brush the pitas with oil and sprinkle with the zaatar. Add them to the griddle with the lamb and cook until toasted and warm, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
In a large bowl, toss the cucumber, cilantro, parsley, oregano, onions, tomato and fennel. Add the vinegar and 3 tablespoons oil and toss to combine. Season to taste. Remove the meat from the skewers and place on the pitas; top with some salad. Serve with the lemon wedges and tzatziki sauce.

KITTENCAL'S GREEK SOUVLAKI (GRILLED SKEWERED LAMB OR PORK)

Kittencal's Greek Souvlaki (Grilled Skewered Lamb or Pork) image

There are many recipe out there for slovlaki, this is one I have been making for years and is a personal favorite, this can be made using lamb or pork, the secret to the marinade is the little extra bit of honey and the seasoned salt ;-) traditional Greek souvlaki is not threaded with veggies, but I like to add them on the skewers, you have the option of using them or not. Serve the lamb with toasted pitas and tzatzika sauce if desired please see my recipe#157176. Plan ahead the lamb needs to marinade overnight. You can also make these in the oven under the broiler, using metal skewers ONLY in place of wooden, turning occasionally. The vegetable amounts listed are only esimated you can use as many as desired on the skewers.
