Special options

In Greece, they make souvlaki with pork but in Australia we use lamb. Either way, it's delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg diced lamb shoulder
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 8-10 small pita breads
  • 1 cup tzatziki
  • Salad leaves to serve

Method

Mix lamb, oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl, cover with clingfilm and marinate for a few hours in the refrigerator. Remove and thread meat on metal skewers. Heat a grill or barbecue to very hot, then grill skewers for a few minutes on each side, until cooked to your liking. Serve with warmed pita breads, tzatziki and salad.
