Go Greek: Pair flavorful lamb kebabs with a hearty salad

Souvlaki chunks of lamb marinated in lemon juice, olive oil, oregano and garlic, then grilled on skewers is sold as a quick meal on many street corners in Athens.
I cook these kabobs on a stove-top grill, but a broiler or outdoor grill works, too. Serve the souvlaki with warm pita bread on the side or cut and stuffed with the meat and vegetables.
A big, beautiful, Greek-style salad with olives and chickpeas is almost a meal in itself.
HELPFUL HINTS:
-
If using wooden skewers under a broiler or on a grill, soak them in water for 30 minutes first
-
Place lamb and vegetables at least 1/2-inch apart on the skewers so that they will cook evenly on all sides. You may need extra skewers, if your skewers are small
COUNTDOWN:
•
Preheat broiler or stove-top grill
•
Marinate lamb
•
Prepare salad
• Cook kabobs
