Grilled Lamb Skewers With Tzatziki Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 lb leg of lamb, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley fresh, chopped
- 2 red pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 onion cut into 1 inch pieces
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
- Combine all marinade ingredients in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the meat and ensure its thoroughly coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or up to 2 days.
- Submerge wooden skewers in cold water and let them soak for 15 minutes.
- Preheat a gas grill to medium-high, aiming for a temperature between 450°F and 500°F.
- Thread the marinated meat, onions, and bell peppers onto the soaked skewers.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 14-15 minutes, turning once halfway through. To check for doneness, either use a meat thermometer (lamb should reach 145°F) or cut into a piece to see if its cooked to your liking. Continue grilling for up to 10 more minutes if needed.
- Serve hot for the best flavor.
