Ingredients

2 cloves of garlic

1 teaspoon dried oregano

olive oil

4 lamb steaks (750g in total)

2 red peppers

8 fresh bay leaves

2 lemons

a few sprigs of fresh flat-leaf parsley

Method

  1. Fire up your wood-fired oven an hour or so before you’re ready to cook (you can easily adapt this recipe for a barbecue or regular oven – use your instincts).
  2. When the oven temperature reaches 200°C (check with a thermometer) and the smoke and flames have died down, you can start cooking.
  3. Peel and bash the garlic with a generous pinch of sea salt in a pestle and mortar, then add the dried oregano and enough olive oil to loosen the mixture.
  4. Cut the lamb into 3cm chunks, then place in a large bowl. Season with black pepper, then add the marinade, and toss to coat.
  5. Halve, deseed and cut the peppers into chunks, and cut the lemons into wedges, then thread onto 8 skewers, alternating between lamb, pepper, bay leaves and lemon wedges.
  6. Lay the skewers on a baking tray and roast in the hot oven for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until charred, sticky and cooked through, turning occasionally. Keep an eye on them – rotate the tray so that all the kebabs get a turn of being close to the fire and pull them back a little if the bread starts to burn.
  7. Pick and roughly chop the parsley leaves, then scatter over the kebabs. Delicious served up with flatbreads, a dollop of Greek yoghurt and some sliced cucumber.

It’s best to use metal skewers, but if using wooden, it’s a good idea to get them soaking in a tray of water so they don’t burn in the oven.
