Souvlakia

Ingredients

  • 750g lean lamb
  • 3 red capsicums, halved, deseeded (different colours if you prefer!)
  • 1 large brown onion, halved, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tsp grated lemon rind
  • 2 tbs lemon juice
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 3 tsp dried oregano leaves

  • salt and pepper
  • natural yoghurt, pita bread and salad to serve

Directions

  1. Soak 12 skewers in cold water for about 10 minutes.
