Share this special moment with all my lovely friends


Lamb souvlaki

1 kg of lamb meat, preferably leg, trimmed and cut in pieces for skewers
For the Marinade:
½ cup of olive oil
Freshly squeezed juice of one lemon
3 -4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon thyme , 1 teaspoon oregano , salt and pepper

marinade, mix the olive oil and lemon juice well, then add the herbs, garlic, salt and pepper and keep mixing thoroughly. Coat all pieces of meat well and place in the refrigerator for a few hours.
For even more tender and testy Lamb souvlaki, make a bigger amount of marinade (increase everything for a half of the measure), and then keep meat in it overnight in the fridge. Be sure to turn the meat a couple of times while in marinade so it doesn’t lose juiciness.
When grilling, be sure to brush with a little bit of olive oil each piece of meat to enhance its softness.

serve with Greek salad

cucumber
tomatoes
big red onion
olive
feta ( goat cheese )

cut into piece , put into bowl mix together , pour salt , pepper , olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice .. serve cold will be better .
and serve with bread or pita bread ..

να απολαύσετε με ασφάλεια
enjoy ....
