LAMB SOUVLAKI



Lamb Souvlaki image

Tender pieces of lamb, marinated in a Greek lemon vinaigrette, threaded on skewers and char-grilled to perfection. I like to serve these with rosemary garlic roasted potatoes, a Greek salad, and pita bread.

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.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 29

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.

  • To prepare this Greek lamb souvlaki recipe, cut the meat into equal sized (3 cm) chunks and set aside.
  • Prepare the marinade for the lamb kebab. In a large bowl add the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, the herbs and spices and season with freshly ground pepper – don’t add salt yet. Whisk all the ingredients to combine. Add the meat and the chopped onions and blend to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, chill and let marinade for at least 4 hours. It’s best to leave the meat for the lamb souvlaki marinade overnight, to soak up all the wonderful flavours. (If you are at home blend the marinade once in a while).
  • In the meantime prepare the tzatziki sauce. Pour in a blender the olive oil and grated garlic and blend until combined. Remove the skin and the seeds of the cucumber and grate it into a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and leave aside for 10 minutes. Wrap the grated cucumber in a towel and squeeze, in order to get rid of the excess water. In a bowl, add the cucumber, the blended garlic and oil, the yogurt, 1-2 tbsps of red wine vinegar, a pinch of salt and blend, until the ingredients are combined. Store the tzatziki sauce in the fridge and always serve cold.
  • To assemble the lamb kebab you can either use wooden or metal skewers. For this lamb souvlaki recipe, you will need about 10 skewers, depending on the size of each souvlaki. If using wooden skewers, cut them to fit your griddle pan and soak them in water. (This will prevent them from burning.) Lift the chunks of lamb out of the marinade and thread the pieces, comfortably, on the skewers. At this point don’t forget to season your lamb souvlaki with salt.
