Ingredients

• 1000 grams Lamb leg, boneless and cubed
• 125 grams Greek yogurt
• 60 ml Olive oil
• 30 ml Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Oregano, dried
• 1 teaspoon Rosemary, dried
• 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 Red bell pepper, cubed
• 1 Green bell pepper, cubed
• 1 Red onion, cut into large chunks
• 8 Skewers, metal or soaked wooden

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the cubed lamb to the marinade, and toss until all pieces are well coated.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld, or overnight for best results.

Step 4

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.

Step 5

Preheat the grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated lamb, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between pieces.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the lamb has reached your desired level of doneness and has a slight char.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Serve the lamb souvlaki hot, accompanied by your choice of sides such as pita bread, tzatziki sauce, or a fresh salad.
