I used to make my own souvlaki from scratch until I started buying premade ones which just needed cooking. But I found the prices sky rocketed $150 for 48 and quality went down
So I have again started making my own.

I use lamb backstrap which I buy from Coles. I paid $30 which made 16 sticks.

Ingredients​

• 700g lamb backstrap , or and cuts of lean lamb . Cut into 2.5cm/1” cubes
• 1 tsp salt ( I use sea salt)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 15 skewers , wooden or bamboo

LAMB SOUVLAKI MARINADE:​

• 3 garlic cloves , finely minced
• juice of 3 lemons ( you need around 1/4 cup
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp salt ( I use sea salt)

Instructions​

MARINATE LAMB:​

• Mix marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add lamb and toss to coat.
• Marinate in fridge for at least 3 hours , best overnight

Assemble​

• Remove meat from marinade and thread 4 pieces on each skewers
• Sprinkle the meat with the salt and pepper. (This really makes a difference to the finished dish, better than just in the marinade).
• Cook – Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick pan over high heat. Cook half the skewers for 3 minutes, turn then cook the other side for 3 minutes uuntil cooked ( becareful not to over cook)
• Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil to keep warm while you cook the remaining skewers.

Serve on a plate with salad and chips or potatoes.

Or with Pita bread and salad

My family always has tzatziki with it. I have added easy tzatziki recipes before or just buy store bought. I buy the brands Chris or Obella.
