Would love to try Shish -k- Bob with Lamb on the Egg. I know someone out there has a kick-egg recepe for this one.
Thanks in advance[p]Uncle Phil

Uncle Phil,
Greek Souvlaki is exactly what you're looking for.
My personal favorite...anytime.[p]A real coincidence as this was being prepared on the food network by Nick Makris from Nick's Diner in Regina Sask - it looked SO GOOD. Use pork or lamb - serving with pita bread is optional but tzatziki is a must! Prep time includes a minimum of 2 hours for marinating.
1 1/2 lbs boneless leg of lamb or lamb shoulder or pork loin, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon dried Greek oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
coarse salt
freshly cracked black pepper
1 bag smokinchips.com Gourmet Apple Chips[p]1. Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, onion, oregano, parsley, mint and black pepper in a bowl & mix well. [p]2. Add meat, toss to coat, cover and refrigerate; marinate for a minimum of 2 hours but overnight for best results.
If using wooden skewers soak them in water overnight or for at least 2 hours. [p]3. Preheat the grill or egg to medium high placing a handful of apple chips in with the Lump or Briquettes. [p]4. Thread meat evenly onto skewers & season with salt and pepper. [p]5. Grill skewers 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium or cook a few minutes longer if you prefer well done (6 to 7 minutes). [p]6. Serve with tzatziki sauce and pita bread.

Uncle Phil,
Not too many people like lamb because grandma always use to over cook the Easter leg :(
Souvlaki is, bar-none, the best way to prepare lamb.
If you ever get to the Greek Islands...you'll see.
We usually build a fire outside and cook them like camping.
Even better then in an egg (I know, call me crazy).
and we always take a gallon zip lock bag of these gems camping with us...

Smokinsteve,
i'm a little confused, is the marinade the 'tzatziki sauce' that is reserved and served heated later as a side or is it something you buy?[p]Scott

eggor,
You can buy it in specialty grocers, like New Seasons in the Portland, OR area...
or make it:
INGREDIENTS:
2 (8 ounce) containers plain yogurt
2 cucumbers - peeled, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
3 cloves garlic, peeled [p]---[p]DIRECTIONS:
In a food processor or blender, combine yogurt, cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, dill and garlic. Process until well-combined. Transfer to a separate dish, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour for best flavor.

smokinsteve,[p]now what do you do with it? do you baste it on while grilling? or is it a side dish? sorry for the silly questions.

eggor,
silly questions? no such thing.
You serve it with the sauce...drizzle it over the lamb cubes once you unkabob them or put on your plate and dip.
Nice touch.

eggor:[p]Tzatziki sauce is a dipping sauce for your meat. In the case of a gyro, it is spread on the meat prior to wrapping with the pita bread.
