Ingredients
- 3/4 lb lamb, cut from the leg into 12 equal-sized cubes
- juice form 1/2 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped (or 1/2 tablespoon dried)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup bulgar
- 2 cups water
- 1 spicy pepper (I used jalepeno), diced
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced thin
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup mint, chopped
- 1/4 cup feta cheese (optional)
- juice from 2 limes
- olive oil
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Chop the lamb into large 1 inch pieces, then pat dry with a paper towel. Place the lamb in a large ziplock bag with the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano and a little salt. Let the lamb marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
- Turn oven to broil. Stick lamb onto skewers and place the skewers over a rimmed baking sheet to catch any juices from getting on your oven. Broil for about 8 minutes, turning half way through.
