Lamb and Lemon Souvlaki

Instructions

1- Pound the garlic with sea salt in a pestle and mortar (or use a small food processor), until the garlic forms a paste.

2- Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, zest, dill and garlic.

3- Mix in the lamb and combine well.

4- Cover and marinate for at least 2 hrs or overnight in the fridge.

5- If you’re going to use bamboo skewers, soak them in cold water.

6- If you’ve prepared the lamb the previous day, take it out of the fridge 30 mins before cooking.

7- Thread the meat onto the soaked or metal skewers.

8- Heat the grill to high or have a hot griddle pan or barbecue ready.

9- Cook the skewers for 2-3 mins on each side, basting with the remaining marinade.

10- Heat the pitta or flatbreads briefly, then stuff with the souvlaki.

11- Add Greek salad (see 'Goes well with', right) and Tzatziki (below), if you like.
