Delicious Greek lamb skewers with tzatziki for a family dinner.

Ingredients:

3 lemons, juiced
20.00 ml dried Greek oregano (see note)
1/2 tsp white pepper
1.6kg lamb rump, diced into 3cm cubes
1 lemon, juiced, to serve
1 large green ridge cucumber
500.00 ml plain yoghurt
1 garlic clove, crushed

Instructions:

Mix together 1/2 cup of lemon juice, oregano, and pepper in a large ceramic dish. Add the lamb and coat it well. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to marinate evenly.
Prepare the cucumber by peeling, halving lengthwise, and scraping out the seeds. Grate the cucumber and place it in a sieve over a bowl to drain for 30 minutes. Mix the drained cucumber with yogurt, minced garlic, and salt. Refrigerate the mixture until ready to serve.
Strain the lamb, keeping the marinade. Skewer 4 pieces of lamb on each skewer.
Heat the barbecue plate on medium-high heat and grease it lightly. Cook skewers, turning and basting with marinade, for 8 to 10 minutes until desired doneness. Place skewers on a platter, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice. Serve lamb skewers with tzatziki and Greek salad.
