Step 1 of 5
Lamb and Lemon Souvlaki
Pound the garlic with the sea salt in a pestle and mortar until it forms a paste. Whisk together with the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and dill.
Step 2
Mix the lamb into the marinade, combine well, cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in cold water.
Step 3
Take the lamb out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Thread onto soaked or metal skewers.
Step 4
Heat the grill to high or prepare a hot griddle pan or barbecue. Cook the skewers for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, basting with the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Warm the pitta briefly and stuff with the souvlaki. Serve with Greek salad and tzatziki if desired.
