Ingredients

Prep time is short, but this dish should marinate for 2 hours prior to cooking.

1 1/2 lbs boneless leg of lamb or lamb shoulder or pork loin, cut into 1 inch cubes, or country style pork ribs bone out

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/3 cup red wine vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon dried Greek oregano

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

coarse salt to taste

freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Directions

Hint - When the grill is not an option, I cheat and put all the ingredients into a blender and cook in the oven. Preheat oven to 400, lay down a line of olive oil on a sheet of aluminum foil, spread meat over with marinade, fold to make a packet. Cook for 30 mins

Grill

Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, onion, oregano, parsley, mint and black pepper in a bowl& mix well.

Add meat, toss to coat, cover and refrigerate; marinate for a minimum of 2 hours but overnight for best results.

If using wooden skewers soak them in water overnight or for at least 2 hours.

Preheat the grill to medium high.

Thread meat evenly onto 4 skewers& season with salt and pepper.

Grill skewers 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium or cook a few minutes longer if you prefer well done (6 to 7 minutes).

Serve with tzatziki sauce is a must !
