Directions
In a large bowl, combine the garlic, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, oregano, thyme, paprika, and salt and pepper. Add the lamb cubes and toss well to coat all the pieces. Let the meat marinate for at least one hour, but if time allows, leave it overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor infusion.
When ready to cook, preheat your grill or broiler.
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto wooden or metal skewers. Don't pack them too tightly; leaving a slight gap between the pieces ensures even cooking.
Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked to your liking.
Remove from the grill and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the lamb souvlaki in pita bread with a good dollop of tzatziki sauce and enjoy.
