What Is Greek Lamb Souvlaki
Greek lamb souvlaki is a traditional dish of marinated lamb pieces grilled on skewers. It is a popular street food and home-cooked meal across Greece, often served with pita, vegetables, and tzatziki.
Ingredients and Marinade
Use cubed lamb shoulder or leg with olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and salt. For authentic flavor, let the meat marinate for at least 1 to 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator.
How to Cook and Serve
Thread the marinated lamb onto metal or soaked wooden skewers. Grill over medium-high heat, turning often, until the edges are charred and the inside is cooked through. Serve in warm pita with tomato, onion, lettuce, and tzatziki.
