- Lamb Leg (750g)

Instructions
Steps
- In a pestle and mortar, pound garlic with sea salt until a paste forms. Alternatively, you can use a small food processor.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, the zest and juice of lemon, dill, and the garlic paste.
- Add lamb to the marinade and mix thoroughly. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- If using bamboo skewers, soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes.
- Take the marinated lamb out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Thread the lamb onto the soaked or metal skewers.
- Preheat the grill or barbecue to high, or heat a griddle pan.
- Cook the skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side, basting with any remaining marinade.
- Warm pita bread briefly, then fill with the cooked souvlaki. Serve with Greek salad and tzatziki if desired.
