Cooking Tips

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before threading the lamb to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• For extra flavor, you can add chopped onions and bell peppers to the skewers along with the lamb.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the lamb skewers on a stovetop grill pan or under the broiler in the oven.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover Lamb Souvlaki can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, you can either microwave the lamb skewers for a few seconds or heat them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
• Serve the reheated Lamb Souvlaki with fresh pita bread and tzatziki sauce for a quick and delicious meal.
