LAMB-MUSHROOM KABOBS WITH GREEK YOGURT MOPPING SAUCE
Unique mopping sauce to complement merguez dishes, especially traditional Greek-style kabobs. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Not a lamb fan? Then try this mopping sauce on chicken kabobs as it works great with both! This recipe was cooked rotisserie-style on the Kabob Buddie by Troops BBQ.

Steps:
- Mix olive oil, red wine, parsley, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, mint, pepper, and kosher salt for the marinade together in a bowl. Coat leg of lamb cubes and mushrooms in separate bowls; marinate for 24 hours.
- Whisk Greek yogurt, egg, wine, oil, lemon zest and juice, smoked paprika, mushroom powder, red pepper flakes, garlic, oregano, saffron, salt, and pepper for mopping sauce together heavily so everything mixes together. Refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours, to overnight.
- Place a piece of lamb leg, red onion, cremini mushroom, merguez sausage, and another piece of red onion on 7 grill-safe skewers. Repeat with ingredients for as long as your skewer is able to handle and rotate evenly.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Place kabobs on the preheated grill to sear in juices and form a crust on lamb, rotating occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Reduce grill temperature to medium-high. Coat kabobs with a generous layer of mopping sauce. Let brown and bubble and continue to coat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into a piece of sausage reads at least 142 degrees F (61 degrees C). The leg of lamb should come to 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for medium-rare.

GREEK LAMB KABOBS
DH and I made these fast, easy, tasty grilled lamb kabobs last night for dinner and enjoyed them very much. We served over a bed of rice pilaf, with a side of grilled asparagus. I bought lamb that was already cubed for ease and speed. This recipe is from the Williams-Sonoma Food Made Fast Series, "Weeknight." The recipe says to serve over rice pilaf and to accompany with thickly sliced tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with crumbled feta cheese. Prep time includes marinating time.

Steps:
- Marinate the lamb: Place 8 bamboo skewers in cold water until ready to use. Grate 3 tsp zest from the lemons and squeeze 5 Tb juice. In a shallow glass or ceramic dish just large enough to hold the lamb in a single layer, combine 2 tsp of the lemon zest, 3 Tb of the lemon juice, the oregano, half each of the green onions and garlic, and the olive oil. Season the lamb generously with salt and pepper. Add the lamb to the marinade and turn to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Make the Yogurt Sauce: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, cucumber, the remaining 1 tsp lemon zest and 2 Tb lemon juice, and the remaining green onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate 15 minutes.
- Grill the Lamb: Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for direct-heat grilling over high heat and oil the grill rack. Or, preheat a broiler. Remove the lamb from the marinade, discarding the marinade. Thread the lamb onto the skewers. Place on the grill rack, or put on a baking sheet and place under the broiler. Cook, turning once, 6 to 7 minutes for medium rare or done to your liking. Divide the skewers among 4 plates and serve with the yogurt sauce.

GREEK LAMB ON SKEWERS (SOUVLAKI)
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.

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.

- Mix together all the ingredients (except the lamb) in a large bowl. Add in the lamb cubes and turn the lamb in the marinade until well coated. Cover with clingfilm and marinate for 2 hours in the fridge, or if you don’t have time, simply continue with the recipe.
- Remove the lamb from the fridge 15 minutes before you need it, if you can, to allow it to come up to room temperature. Thread the cubes of lamb onto the skewers (see note if using wooden skewers), so you have a roughly even amount of lamb on each of the 8 skewers.
- Get your BBQ/grill/griddle pan nice and hot and cook the lamb for 3-4 minutes on each side until slightly charred on the outside, but still soft and juicy on the inside (test a little cube if you’re not sure – cooks perk, eh?).
