Lemon Garlic Lamb Kebabs
These kebabs make a really flavorful meal. Serve this one with Greek Salad with Seasoned Flatbread (on this site).
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds leg of lamb, well-trimmed and cut into 20 equal cubes (about 1-inch each)
- 8 thin lemon wedges
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 4 medium garlic cloves, minced
- coarse salt and ground pepper, to taste
- flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
- tzatziki sauce (store bought or homemade)
Instructions
KEBABS
- Heat the grill to high. Assemble 4 long skewers, alternating 5 lamb cubes with 2 lemon wedges on each. Arrange the skewers in a nonmetallic dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice and garlic. Pour the marinade over the skewers; turn to coat. Let stand for at least 5 minutes (or cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally). Season with salt and pepper.
- Lightly oil the grates. Place the skewers on the grill; cover the grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until grill marks are visible and the meat is cooked to the desired doneness, 1 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Serve the kebabs with sauce and garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.
Notes
- For PALEO or DAIRY FREE, serve without the sauce.
