Time 6h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound/450 g. boneless lamb leg (or shoulder cut into 1 1/2-in. cubes)
24 grape cherry tomatoes
24 (1 1/2-in.) chunks of onion
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 bunch fresh oregano
2 tablespoons lemon juice (1 lemon, juiced)
1/2 cup/120 mL extra virgin olive oil
Dash kosher salt (or to taste)
Dash freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
8 large pitas
For the Tzatziki Sauce:
3 cups/700 mL plain yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice (1 lemon, juiced)
2 medium cucumbers (peeled, halved, seeded and diced)
1 tablespoon/15 mL fresh mint leaves (finely chopped)
Dash kosher salt (or to taste)
Dash freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Combine the oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.
  • Add lamb cubes, and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or up to overnight.
  • Drain meat cubes and discard the marinade. Prepare a medium (350°F to 375°F) gas or charcoal grill fire.
  • Thread lamb, tomatoes, and onion pieces onto 4 skewers (5 pieces of lamb, 4 tomatoes, 4 pieces of onion per skewer).
  • Grill for 12 to 15 minutes, turning half way through cooking time to the desired degree of doneness. A thermometer should register 145 F/65 C for medium-rare, 160 F/70 C for medium or 170 F/75 C for well.
  • Serve with warm pita bread, Tzatziki sauce, and salad greens, if using.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Stir together the yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, mint, and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to marry.
