Instructions

Prepare garlic

3 Minuten

Peel garlic cloves and finely chop or press through a garlic press. The finer the garlic, the more evenly the aroma distributes throughout the marinade.

Mix marinade

3 Minuten

Thoroughly mix olive oil, fresh lemon juice, chopped garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt and pepper in a bowl until everything is well combined.

Marinate meat

4 Stunden (Ruhezeit)

Place meat cubes in a zip bag or shallow dish, pour marinade over and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Skewer and grill

10 Minuten

Remove meat from marinade, let drain and thread onto wooden skewers. Grill over direct heat until golden brown on all sides.

Pro Tip

Freshly squeezed lemon juice is essential – bottled juice adds a bitter note. A little lemon zest intensifies the aroma even further.
