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.

Good, but too much labor
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

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.Read more

Excellent -- easy & delicious

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!Read more

Wonderful!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Thought I would make this recipe after watching the show. I did trim off the fat like they suggested. A medal skewer worked... well to make it easier to use the rosemary ones. I didn't have a grill pan like they did, but a George Foreman one and cooked two skewers at a time for 2-3 minutes. (3 was too crowded) The results were great. Very fast. The leftovers were a treat. I will be using this recipe again and again. Thanks guys!!Read more
