57 minutes
Lamb kebab with Greek-style salad is a culinary journey that combines the aromatic tenderness of lamb and the freshness of Mediterranean vegetables. Although this recipe is attributed to Italian cuisine, its roots resonate with Eastern traditions of grilling meat over an open flame. Lamb marinated in lemon juice, garlic, and oregano becomes juicy and spicy, while the Greek salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and mint adds a crunchy texture and lightness. Warm pita softens and harmonizes the flavors, creating a perfect combination. The dish not only delights with its variety of tastes but is also great for friendly gatherings and family dinners outdoors, filling the atmosphere with warmth and coziness.
