Greek Souvlakia - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
5 lbs boneless leg of lamb
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup good Burgundy wine
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
Preparation
-
Cut lamb into 1-1/2\" cubes, trimming the fat.
Combine all of the ingredients in a gallon\"zipper\" bag.
Shake well to combine.
To achieve the best flavor, marinate 24 hours in the refrigerator, shaking a few times.
Put lamb on metal skewers with each chunk touching, but not tightly.
This will taste best on a good, hot charcoal fire.
Turn often on the grill, and they should be done in about 15-20 minutes.
Dont put vegetables in between the meat, as they just do not grill well together.
Please use a good burgundy or full bodied red wine, that you would enjoy drinking by itself, not that stuff they call\"cooking wine\".
