Categories     Lamb     Dinner     Grill/Barbecue

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds boneless leg of lamb
1/4 cup plus 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/3 cup roughly chopped fresh marjoram

Steps:

  • 1. Build a fire in your grill; when the coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium high (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 3 to 4 seconds), you're ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium high.) 2. While the fire is heating up, trim the lamb of all but a thin layer of fat and cut into 32 more-or-less-equal chunks. Combine in a bowl with the 1/4 cup of olive oil and the salt and pepper and toss well to coat, then thread them onto skewers, about 8 chunks per skewer; they should snuggle up to one another but not be tightly pressed. 3. Put the skewers directly over the coals and cook, turning to expose all 4 sides to the direct heat of the coals, until done to your liking, 2 to 3 minutes a side (8 to 12 minutes total) for medium rare. To check for doneness, cut into one of the chunks and check to see if it is done to your liking - remove from the heat when it is just slightly less done than you want it to be when you eat it. 4. While the lamb is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients but keep in separate containers. Slide the lamb chunks off the skewers into a large bowl, add the lemon juice, garlic and marjoram one after another, toss well to coat, season to taste if needed and serve.

These were delicious! I marinated the lamb for a few hours before cooking and it really made a difference.

These kebabs are a great way to use up leftover lamb. I always have some leftover from Easter dinner and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of lamb, but I really enjoyed these kebabs. The Greek flavors really shine through.

I had a hard time finding lamb skewers, so I used wooden skewers instead. They worked just fine.

These kebabs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try marinating the lamb for longer next time.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The lamb, the vegetables, and the Greek seasonings all come together perfectly.
