Skewered Lamb

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   
1 Leg Lamb (2 kg), boned
1/2 cup Olive Oil
1/2 cup dry White Wine
Juice of 1 Lemon
2 teaspoon dried Rigani or Oregano
2 Garlic cloves, crushed
3 Bay Leaves, broken in pieces
Salt and Pepper
 
   
Preparation:  
   

Cut lamb into 4 cm (1 1/2") cubes and place in a glass or earthenware dish. Add remaining ingredients to lamb, mix well to coat meat, and cover. Leave in refrigerator to marinate for 12-24 hours, stirring meat occasionally.

Lift lamb out of marinade and thread onto metal skewers. Pieces of bay leaf may be placed between lamb cubes. Cook under a hot grill or over glowing charcoal, turning and basting frequently with marinade. Grill for 15 minutes or until cooked to taste. Place on a platter and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Serve hot.
