GREEK LAMB,ONION AND TOMATO KEBOBS / YOGURT AND SMOKED PAPRIKA CHICKEN MARINADE
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds lamb (shoulder, leg), outer fat removed
2 fl oz / 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 Tablespoon dried oregano
4 cloves garlic, minced or put through garlic press
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup cherry tomatoes
2-3 onions, sliced into wedges for the skewer
Instructions
Cut lamb into bite sized pieces.
Marinate lamb in olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper for at least 2 hours, and up to 8 hours (the longer it marinates, the more tender the meat).
Skewer alternating lamb, cherry tomato, and onion.
Grill on medium high heat, turning occasionally, until lamb is tender, about 5-10 minutes depending on size of lamb pieces.
Yogurt and Smoked Paprika Marinade
4 fl oz / 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (0% FAGE)
2.5 fl oz / 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
2 Tablespoons Smoked Paprika (sweet variety)
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried mint
2 cloves crushed garlic
Salt and black pepper to taste
With all of these marinades I recommend a minimum marinating time of 1 hour (in the fridge), but 4 hours or more is ideal. I usually use ziploc bags for the chicken/Lamb marinades Make sure the chicken/lamb is completely saturated with marinade.
I made both for Saturday evening and marinated them for 6 hours……shoulder of Lamb boned and fat removed and cut into ˝ inch pieces……and Chicken Breasts cut across the Breast into slices of around 5mm ish………ive found rather than cubing the meat / slices cook evenly and quicker and stay juicy....plus they are great in salads the following day.
I Cooked them on the Barby with veggies and served with salads and Nasturtium Flowers for a bit of Edible Colour.
