Ingredients
- 10 (6 to 8-inch) sturdy rosemary sprigs, for skewering
- 5 pounds boneless leg of lamb
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 rosemary sprigs, leaves stripped and chopped
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 lemons, cut into wedges for garnish
Directions
Soak the rosemary sprigs in water for at least 1 hour prior to grilling the souvlakia.
Trim the leg of lamb of any excess fat and cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes. Place the cubes in a mixing bowl. Add the garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil and salt and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
Remove the lamb from the refrigerator and skewer 4 pieces onto each rosemary sprig.
Heat a grill top for 5 minutes. Place the souvlaki on the grill and cook 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Keep warm in a low oven until all are finished, transfer to a decorative platter and serve with lemon wedges.

End product was very good; however, I personally would not make again as it took forever for me to portion the lamb. I also have to say that just the smell of the lamb fat made me gag... and I haven't been able to eat lamb since...
Other than that note... if you wish to spend hours preparing this meal...then by all means go for it. I just don't think it is worth all that labor.

The best seasoning I have found for lamb. Thanks for the show, I saved this on Tivo!

Very easy to prepare -- no fuss at all. Also works well with beef, for those who do not care for lamb. Thanks to Dan and Steve!
