Greek Lamb Souvlaki Skewers

lb. lamb leg

olive oil, divided

tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed

garlic, minced

Italian seasoning

cumin powder

salt (or

black pepper

Marinate the lamb. Add cubed lamb into a zip-loc bag, and add 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, cumin, salt and pepper. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Press the marinade around the lamb to coat. Place in the fridge to marinate at least 30 minutes or overnight, to infuse all the seasoning and spices into the meat.

Skewer the lamb

. Thread the lamb onto skewers, and lightly brush some olive oil.

Grill the skewers

. Preheat a grill pan over medium high heat for 4-5 minutes and lightly brush the grill with remaining olive oil. You should notice the oil shimmer and sizzle when it's hot and ready. Grill the lamb skewers for 8-10 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature for the lamb reaches 155 F. For well done, cook 1-2 more minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches above 160 F.

Whilst the marinade is good, the salt content is way way waaay too much! I put in less than a tablespoon and it was still far too much. 
Highly suggest anyone trying the recipe to add salt to taste, not to recipe.
