Step by Step Method

FOR THE LAMB KEBABS


Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the onion, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, cilantro, mint, salt, cumin, paprika, pepper, and olive oil. Stir well.

Step 2

Add the lamb and toss to coat it with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 - 4 hours.

Step 3

Soak the bamboo skewers in warm water for about 1 hour before assembling the kebabs. (This step is important! This will prevent the skewers from burning on the grill).

Step 4

Preheat the grill to high, and lightly oil the grate.

Step 5

Thread the lamb onto the soaked skewers, and place them on the grill.

Step 6

Cook, turning frequently to promote even browning for 12 - 14 minutes.

Step 7

Wrap a pita bread around the meat on a skewer, and while holding the bread firmly around the meat, twist the skewer out of the meat.

Step 8

Drizzle the meat with feta spread to your liking. Repeat with the remaining pitas and skewers, and enjoy!

FOR THE FETA SPREAD


Step 9

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, and stir to blend well.

Step 10

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight to allow the flavors to blend.

Ten stars! Wow, that sauce is amazing! I made these for a family get-together and everyone loved the lamb and the sauce. A great change from tzatziki! This is definitely a keeper. Thanks for posting! Made for Culinary Quest 2016.
