Lamb Souvlaki
1 Leg of lamb; boned, cubed* 1 Bay leaf; crushed
5 Baby lamb sweetbreads, opt.* 2 Garlic cloves; crushed
4 Baby lamb kidneys, opt. * Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 c Olive oil 8 Bay leaves; cut
Lemon's juice Firm tomatoes (opt); 1/4'd
1/4 c Wine Green peppers (opt); cubed
1/4 ts Thyme Salt
1/4 ts Oregano Oregano and lemon quarters
1/4 ts Rosemary
*Note: Lamb meat(s) should be cut into cubes the size of walnuts.
Place the lamb, sweetbreads, and kidney cubes in a large non-aluminum
bowl. Make a marinade of the oil, lemon juice, wine, herbs, garlic,
and pepper and pour over the meat. Marinate in the refrigerator,
preferably overnight, or for at least 3 hours. Thread the meat on
long skewers alternating the bay leaves with the tomatoes and
peppers, if desired. Grill over hot coals or broil 6 inches from the
heat, brushing with the remaining marinade and turning frequently.
Season with salt and pepper, then remove the meat from the skewers to
a warm platter and crush oregano over the top. Garnish with lemon
quarters and serve hot.
