Souvlaki

The days are getting longer now that we've put forward our clocks, spring is definitely here and summer is definitely acoming, so a salad type dinner was a perfect end to a long sunny day!

There are many ways to cook lamb and we love them all - especially in the spring - but one of my favourites is to make a souvlaki!

The lamb sat marinating in a mix of yoghurt, lemon juice, cumin and garlic for an hour or so - the longer the better clearly - then I pan fried it quickly to sear the marinade onto the lamb!

I served the sliced lamb over a bed of rocket layered with tomato, cucumber, spring onion, and sprinkled with a little of the reserved marinade that I had added some mint to.


Of course it just screamed out for some bread so I toasted a couple of small pita breads and we were good to go!
