Craving a bite of Greece? These marinated lamb skewers are your ticket! Grilled to perfection and wrapped in warm, fluffy pita with a dollop of tzatziki sauce, it’s like a mini-vacation for your taste buds. Souvlaki is a fun name to say, and an even better meal to eat. Perfect for a sunny day BBQ or a quick weeknight dinner that feels oh-so-fancy, without the fuss. Once you take that first savory and tangy bite, Greece will have claimed your heart, and your stomach.
In a large bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 2 teaspoons of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, leaving space between each piece.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and has a nice char on the outside.
Warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1 minute per side until pliable and slightly toasted.
Assemble your souvlaki by placing lamb pieces on the pita, adding sliced red onion, tomato, cucumber, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Greek experience.
