How to Make Greek Lamb On Skewers Souvlaki
- In a large bowl, combine lamb cubes with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Thread the marinated lamb onto skewers.
- Preheat grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
- Grill the skewers for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness.
- While the lamb is grilling, prepare the marinated onions and tomatoes: In a separate bowl, combine thinly sliced red onions and diced tomatoes with olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the tzatziki sauce (see separate recipe or use your favorite recipe). Make sure you have plenty!
- Warm pita bread.
- Assemble the souvlaki: Place the grilled lamb skewers in the pita bread. Top with marinated onions and tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and a generous amount of tzatziki sauce.
- Serve immediately with fried calamari and french fries.
