directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine all marinade ingredients and mix well.
Step 2
Add the lamb cubes to the marinade and mix until lamb is evenly coated. Place lamb in a sealable bag, and marinate in the fridge overnight.
Step 3
Preheat barbeque for direct grilling at high heat 475°F-500°F (246°C-260°C). Oil grill to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove lamb from the marinade and thread the cubes onto the bamboo skewers (2-3 cubes per skewer). Season the lamb skewers with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Place lamb skewers on the grill and slide foil underneath the bamboo skewers to prevent the sticks from charring. Cook lamb for 2 minutes per side or until nice char marks are achieved.
Step 6
Remove lamb from grill, allow to cool slightly and serve in pita bread with tzatziki sauce.
