Preparation steps

1.

For the lamb skewers: Rinse the lamb, pat dry and cut into 2 cm (approximately 3/4 inch) cubes. Thread the lamb onto wooden skewers and arrange on a baking sheet.

2.

For the marinade: Peel and finely chop the garlic. In a bowl, whisk the garlic with the lemon juice and oil. Season with the salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle over the skewers. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

3.

For the yogurt sauce: Peel the cucumber, cut in half lengthwise, remove seeds and grate coarsely. Place in a bowl and season with salt. Allow to sit until the water is released, about 15 minutes.

Gently squeeze the excess moisture from the cucumbers. In a bowl, stir the cucumbers with the yogurt. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. 

4.

For the lamb skewers: Drain the skewers. Grill, while brushing with the marinade, until golden on all sides, about 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste.

5.

For serving: Serve the skewers with the yogurt sauce.
