Lamb and pepper skewers
Background
These Greek-style lamb and pepper skewers are really easy to make, but you should marinate them for as long as you can (preferably overnight). The grilling only takes 10 minutes β so itβs ideal for BBQ parties, easy suppers and general get-togethers. Serve the skewers tucked into flatbread with a crispy salad - drizzled with chilli sauce and tzatziki or with coleslaw and grilled veggies.
Ingredients
- 300g diced lamb shoulder
- Grated zest & juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt & pepper
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 red bell pepper
Instructions
- Put the diced lamb into a bowl. Add the olive oil, oregano, garlic, lemon zest & juice and black pepper β donβt add salt yet. Mix together making sure that all the lamb is well coated, then marinate for at least an hour in the fridge, preferably overnight.
- Cut the pepper into 3x3cm pieces.
- Take the lamb out of the fridge and add the pepper pieces. Mix well. Season with salt.
- Thread the meat & pepper pieces onto skewers (metal or pre-soaked wooden ones).
- Pre-heat a grill, barbecue or griddle pan.
- Cook the skewers for approx. 10 mins, turning regularly, until cooked to your liking.
