Lemon- Garlic Lamb Kebabs

 

 

Wonderful Greek-style kebabs...
 

 

 

SAUCE:

 

2 ounces 

 

feta cheese

 

1 Tbs 

 

fresh lemon juice

 

2 Tbs 

 

water

 

 

 

coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
 

 

 

 

KEBABS:

 

1½ lbs 

 

leg of lamb, well-trimmed and cut into 20 equal cubes (about 1-inch each)

 

8 thin 

 

lemon wedges

 

¼ cup 

 

olive oil, plus more for grill

 

2 Tbs 

 

fresh lemon juice

 

4 cloves 

 

garlic, minced

 

 

 

coarse salt and ground pepper

 

 

 

flat-leaf parsley for garnish

 

 

1

Prepare sauce: In a blender, purée feta, lemon juice and water. Season with salt and ground pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

2

Heat the grill to high. Assemble 4 long skewers, alternating 5 lamb cubes with 2 lemon wedges on each. Arrange the skewers in a nonmetallic dish.

3

In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice and garlic. Pour the marinade over the skewers; turn to coat. Let stand for at least 5 minutes (or cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally). Season with salt and pepper.

4

Lightly oil the grates. Place the skewers on the grill; cover the grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until grill marks are visible and the meat is cooked to the desired doneness, 1 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve with the sauce, and garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.

 

Servings: 4
