Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Lamb leg, boneless and cubed
  • 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried thyme
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 large Red onion, cut into chunks
  • 8 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Add the cubed lamb to the marinade and toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated.

  3. 3

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, though overnight is preferred for maximum flavor.

  4. 4

    Thread the marinated lamb onto the soaked skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion.

  5. 5

    Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

  6. 6

    Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, approximately 12-15 minutes total, until the lamb reaches your desired level of doneness.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat and let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving.

  8. 8

    Serve warm with pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and a fresh Greek salad.
