Char-grilled lamb souvlaki recipe
In Greece, they make souvlaki with pork but in Australia we use lamb. Either way, it's delicious.
Ingredients
1kg diced lamb shoulder
½ cup olive oil
juice of 2 lemons
1 tbsp dried oregano
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
8-10 small pita breads
1 cup tzatziki
salad leaves to serve
Method
Mix lamb, oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl, cover with clingfilm and marinate for a few hours in the refrigerator.
Remove and thread meat on metal skewers.
Heat a grill or barbecue to very hot, then grill skewers for a few minutes on each side, until cooked to your liking.
Serve with warmed pita breads, tzatziki and salad.
