Ingredients
1 1/2 lb. leg of lamb
8 thin lemon wedges
1/4 c. olive oil
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
4 clove garlic
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Feta Dipping Sauce
Fresh parsley sprigs
Preparation
Step 1Heat grill to high. Assemble 4 long skewers, alternating 5 lamb cubes with 2 lemon wedges on each. Arrange skewers in a nonmetallic dish.Step 2In a small bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Pour marinade over skewers; turn to coat. Let stand at least 5 minutes (or cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally). Season with salt and pepper.Step 3Lightly oil grates (see Tips & Techniques). Place skewers on grill; cover grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until grill marks are visible and meat is cooked to desired doneness, 1 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. (The lemon wedges caramelize on the grill, making them slightly sweet. When serving the skewers, squeeze the lemon juice over the lamb for added flavor.) Serve with sauce, and garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.
