Steps:
- Make the lamb marinade: In a medium bowl big enough to hold all the lamb pieces, mix together the garlic powder, salt, oregano and olive oil. Place the lamb in the marinade and stir gently to coat all the pieces. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- Make the Greek salad: Combine the diced tomatoes with the onion, green pepper, feta cheese and kalamata olives. Stir in the olive oil and oregano, and season with salt.
- When the lamb is done marinating, place the pieces on the wooden skewers to create kebabs with about 6 pieces on each skewer. Heat a griddle or grill to high heat and place the lamb kebabs on the grill. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, rotating often to cook on all sides. Remove from the grill when done, and then grill the tomato slices until softened.
- Warm the pita bread on the grill and cut each one into quarters. To serve, place the pita pieces on a plate and layer with the kebabs, grilled tomatoes, potatoes and Greek salad.
KITTENCAL'S GREEK SOUVLAKI (GRILLED SKEWERED LAMB OR PORK)
There are many recipe out there for slovlaki, this is one I have been making for years and is a personal favorite, this can be made using lamb or pork, the secret to the marinade is the little extra bit of honey and the seasoned salt ;-) traditional Greek souvlaki is not threaded with veggies, but I like to add them on the skewers, you have the option of using them or not. Serve the lamb with toasted pitas and tzatzika sauce if desired please see my recipe#157176. Plan ahead the lamb needs to marinade overnight. You can also make these in the oven under the broiler, using metal skewers ONLY in place of wooden, turning occasionally. The vegetable amounts listed are only esimated you can use as many as desired on the skewers.

GREEK LAMB SOUVLAKI RECIPE – PREPARING THE MARINADE

- 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.
