Greek Lamb Souvlaki


I'm a Fan Too

Description:

My stepdad would barbecue all the time, we'd have lamb souvlaki, octopus salad, greek salad and some killer Greek wines. He was the cook for the Greek Marines in the 70's so he would always make too much and we'd be forced to invite friends over all the time. I still love to entertain, maybe this is where I got it from. I have altered his original recipe, and you can too. You can make the souvlaki with lamb, chicken or meat.

Ingredients

One leg of lamb, (about 8 pounds).
Trim, debone and cut into 1 inch cubes
Marinade
1
cup of extra virgin olive oil
1
tsp of cumin - ground
1
tsp of dried Greek oregano
2
crushed bay leaves
sea salt to taste
cracked peppercorns
1
C of green peppers, chopped
2
medium chopped onions
4
oz tomato puree

Directions

1.
Put the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add the meat, stir and cover. Refrigerate overnight.
2.
The next day, soak your wooden skewers in water for an hour. You can also utilize metal skewers and be more environmentally friendly.
3.
Stick the meat on the skewers, leaving a little space between pieces. You can add green peppers and cook on the bbq, turn frequently until crispy brown on all sides (about 15 minutes).
4.
I suggest you cut up a lemon and squirt it over the meat. The acid from the lemon (or lime) will cut into the fat of the meat.
5.
A nice addition is to take italian bread and cut it into smal l pieces. Put it on the bbq with a little olive oil. Make this the last piece of your souvlaki for a beautiful presentation.
