Barbecue Lamb Recipe Ingredients
1kg (or approx 2+ ˝ pounds) lamb (leg or shoulder), cut into 3cm (or approx 1 inch) cubes
3 large onions, cut into quarters
1+ ˝ cups lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1+ ˝ tablespoons oregano (fresh is best but dried & powdered is fine)
1 + ˝ teaspoons salt
1+ ˝ teaspoons pepper
3 cups plain, unsweetened natural yoghurt, optional for serving
Barbecue Lamb Recipe Directions
In a large bowl, combine the lamb, lemon juice, oregano, salt & pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the lamb is well coated in the marinade.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for approximately 6 hours.
If you’re going to be using wooden skewers, make sure you’ve soaked them for 30 minutes in cold water which will prevent them from charring on the barbecue/ grill.
After lamb has marinated, alternately thread the lamb and onion segments onto skewers.
Over a medium-high heat, barbecue the shish-kebabs until the lamb has browned and cooked through.
You will need to brush the shish-kebabs a few times with olive oil during the barbecue process.
Serve immediately.
You might like to add a dollop of natural yoghurt to each shish-kebab.
Goes nicely with steamed rice & a Greek salad (ie, feta cheese, olives etc).
Serves: 4.
