Souvlaki (Greek lamb brochettes - LOWCARB!)
This is the way we make Souvlaki at Casa del Ceebs, but it's just a guideline - you could use other veggies, or marinate the lamb in something else (omitting the red wine for something lower carb, for example)...
Marinade:
- 2 cups red wine
- 1 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced super-fine
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
Souvlaki proper:
- 1 1/4 pounds lamb meat, cubed large
- 2 zucchini, cut into wedges or discs about 3/4" wide
- 1 large red or green bell pepper, cut into about 1" square slices
- 1 cup of button or crimini mushrooms, wiped clean and halved
- 1 large red onion, chopped roughly
- bamboo skewers
Marinate the lamb in the olive oil, wine, garlic, and rosemary for at least 15 minutes, and ideally an hour. Prep the bamboo skewers by soaking them in water while the lamb is marinating. When both are ready, skewer the lamb and vegetables any which way, and grill or broil until the vegetables are done, and the meat is medium rare.
