Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Making Lamb Marinades
So let’s begin! Firstly, grab a mixing bowl and combine the lemon juice with half oil & garlic. It’s important to remember, apply the marinade and blend the diced lamb on skewers. Let the dish rest for a while so that it settles.
If everything is alright, we can jump right into marinating the lamb. As a first step, it’s important to season the meat. If you’re using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for around thirty minutes. Let the meat soak for ten minutes while pouring in some leftover marinade. Make sure you don’t pour all the sauce into the bowl, instead leave a quarter of it for later.
Step 2: Grilling Lamb Kebabs on the Skewers
To be quite honest, grilling the lamb kebab is a really enjoyable experience. To cut the preparation time in half, cut up the tomatoes, cucumber, and black olives into small slices. Boil the marinade and add a few olive oils before pouring the mixture over the salad. Add the mixture to a separate bowl. Since the meat has absorbed all the flavors, it can now be mixed with the other ingredients.
Step 3: Grilling the Lamb Kebabs
Head outside as we will need to heat the griddle pan outside on medium flame. Once the flame reaches a medium level, season the outside of the meat. Let the lamb kebabs warm up on the stove for around eight minutes, checking the lamb and turning it sideways to enhance the taste every couple of minutes.
Step 4: Garnishing and Serving
Once the meat is cooked, garnish it with pepper and start cutting it up. Take the opportunity to cut the fresh mint leaves and mix them into the Greek salad. Finally, serve the Greek salad alongside the lamb kebabs, and don’t forget to pour the sauce on top.
