Lamb, lemon & dill souvlaki recipe

The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Lamb, lemon & dill souvlaki recipe. Enjoy cooking tasty Arabic food and learn how to make Lamb, lemon & dill souvlaki.

Sometimes the simplest dishes are the best and this light, summery souvlaki is a fine example

Easy
Serves 4 as a main or 6 as part of a meze
Preparation time 20 mins
Cook time 6 mins plus marinating

Ingredients

2 garlic cloves , finely chopped
2 tsp sea salt
4 tbsp olive oil
zest and juice 1 lemon
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
700g lean lamb such as neck fillet or boneless leg, trimmed, then cut into large chunks
pitta bread or flatbread, to serve
 
Method

1. Pound the garlic with sea salt in a pestle and mortar (or use a small food processor), until the garlic forms a paste. Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, zest, dill and garlic. Mix in the lamb and combine well. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hrs or overnight in the fridge. If you're going to use bamboo skewers, soak them in cold water.

2. If you've prepared the lamb the previous day, take it out of the fridge 30 mins before cooking. Thread the meat onto the soaked or metal skewers. Heat the grill to high or have a hot griddle pan or barbecue ready. Cook the skewers for 2-3 mins on each side, basting with the remaining marinade. Heat the pitta or flatbreads briefly, then stuff with the souvlaki. Add Greek salad (see 'Goes well with', right) and Tzatziki (below), if you like.

Try

Tzatziki
Combine a 250g pot Greek yogurt; ½ a cucumber, peeled, deseeded, then coarsely grated; 1 garlic clove, crushed; 3 tbsp chopped dill; 2 tsp white wine vinegar; a pinch of sugar and some salt in a bowl and mix well. Chill for 1 hr if time permits. For a twist, try adding chopped mint instead of the dill.

Shish Taouk - Chicken Shish kebab

Shish Taouk (Chicken Shish kebab) - Boneless chicken marinated in garlic, lemon juice and olive oil and grilled on skewers.

When I was growing up, “shish” almost always meant grilled lamb – you rarely saw chicken. But the popularity of chicken means that we long ago adapted one of our most popular ways of preparing meat to chicken as well. Now, shish taouk is one of the most popular meat dishes in the middle east. It is very simple and the marinating yields the most tender, delectable chicken.

Ingredients (serves 4-6 people)

1 1/4 pounds boneless skinned chicken
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons lemon juice
5 tablespoons olive oil
Garlic sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparing Shish Taouk

1. Cut the chicken into medium size cubes. In a bowl mix the paprika, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic sauce, salt and pepper.
2. Marinade the chicken cubes in the mixture for 4-5 hours or overnight.
3. When ready to cook, thread the chicken pieces on a skewer. Make sure the pieces are firm (you do this by cramming lots of them on the same skewer).
4. Then, simply grill (or better, charcoal) until the meat begins to brown.

Serving Shish Taouk

• This delicious dish can be served with wedges of pita bread and lemon, and is particularly good when served with rice and salad.
