This is posted in response to a request for "skewer" recipes. A real coincidence as this was being prepared on the food network by Nick Makris from Nick's Diner in Regina Sask - it looked SO GOOD I just had to post it. Use pork or lamb - serving with pita bread is optional but tzatziki is a must! Prep time includes a minimum of 2 hours for marinating.
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless leg of lamb or lamb shoulder or pork loin, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 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
- freshly cracked black pepper
Directions
1
Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, onion, oregano, parsley, mint and black pepper in a bowl& mix well.2
Add meat, toss to coat, cover and refrigerate; marinate for a minimum of 2 hours but overnight for best results.3
If using wooden skewers soak them in water overnight or for at least 2 hours.4
Preheat the grill to medium high.5
Thread meat evenly onto 4 skewers& season with salt and pepper.6
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).7
Serve with tzatziki sauce and pita bread.

Amazingly delicious and easy dish. I used boneless pork country ribs, simply because I was feeding a lot and the other cuts were way too expensive. When making for four, I will definitely try the lamb. Perfect blend of herbs, garlic, onion and the vinegar really helped create extra tenderness. I will use this recipe a lot. Thanks, CountryLady!

Wonderful!! I used pork tenderloin, fresh oregano and more garlic and marinated it for two hours before cooking. Also I skewered chunks of onion with the pork instead of putting it in the marinade. Very simple to put together! Thanks!

Wonderful flavours!! Did these for a luncheon and they were a big hit. I used precut lamb sold at our local meat shop. Marinated overnight it turned out lovely and tender. I cooked them in the oven this time and will look forward to summer to use the BBQ. Thanks for sharing a keeper!

This was a very enjoyable and easy recipe. I thought it had a bit to much vinegar in it but my husband and eldest daughter thought it was perfect. I will definitley make this again. Thank you.
