An easy do for the grill or oven any time of the year. You can use lamb or pork, serving with pita bread is optional but tzatziki is a must! Prep time includes a minimum of 2 hours for marinating.

How to make it
- 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 !
