500 grams lean lamb, cubed
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 lemon (juice and zest)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon oregano (dried or fresh)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Preparation:
1. Combine all the ingredients and let the meat marinate in the fridge, from 30 minutes to overnight. The longer you marinate it, the more tender the meat will become.
2. Remove the lamb from the marinade and skewer. Use wooden skewers soaked in cold water for 30 minutes to prevent burning, or steel skewers.
3. Grill the skewers for about 3 to 4 minutes each side, until medium rare.
Food tip 1: Serve with a salad of cubed tomato, cucumber and feta cheese, a bowl of low-fat Greek yoghurt and a platter of warmed wholemeal pita bread.
Food tip 2: Keep a plastic bag of soaked wooden skewers in your freezer, so you can repeat this recipe without having to wait for the skewers to soak for 30 minutes.
