This is my family's favorite Greek dish. It can be served with a Greek salad and rice pilaf. Ingredients:
2 pounds lamb, cut into 1 inch square cubes |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1 cup red wine |
1 teaspoon salt |
freshly ground black pepper to taste |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 tablespoon dried mint, crushed |
1 clove garlic, chopped |
4 cups plain yogurt |
1 cucumber, shredded |
4 cloves garlic, minced |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed |
salt and pepper to taste |
8 pita bread rounds |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 red onion, thinly sliced |
1 tomato, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Place lamb in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup olive oil, red wine, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, oregano, mint and garlic. Stir until lamb is well coated. Cover, and refrigerate 3 hours, or overnight.
2. Preheat grill, and lightly oil grate. In a small bowl, combine yogurt, cucumber, minced garlic and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with dill weed, salt and pepper; set aside.
3. Thread meat onto skewers. Grill 10 minutes, turning once. Lightly sprinkle pita bread with olive oil, and place on grill until warm, about 1 minute. Serve meat on pita bread along with sliced red onion, sliced tomato and yogurt sauce.
