Arni Souvlaki Recipe
1 Leg lamb; about 4 lb. — boned
1/2 cup Olive oil
1/2 cup Dry white wine
Juice of 1 lemon 2 teaspoons
Dried oregano
20 milliliters Garlic — crushed or chopped
3 Bay leaves — broken in pieces
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Cut lamb into 1 1/2 inch cubes and place in a non-reactive (glass or earthenware) dish. Add remaining ingredients to lamb, mix well to coat meat, and cover. You can also place all ingredients in a heavy plastic bag and seal. Leave in refrigerator to marinate for 12-24 hours, stirring meat occasionally. Lift lamb out of marinade and thread onto metal skewers. Pieces of bay leaf may be placed between lamb cubes. Since most vegetables have different cooking times, I would suggest that you skewer peppers, onions, etc. separately and serve them together with the lamb. If you wish these may be marinated also (in a separate bag.) Cook under a hot broiler or over glowing charcoal, turning and basting frequently with marinade. I like this best medium rare. Keep checking the meat — the cooking time will vary because charcoal fires are so variable. Place on a platter and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Serves 6-8.
