I had the best time as a Volunteer in the Olympic and Paralympic Village!

Recipe adapted from Joy of Cooking:

Balkan Marinade:
3/4 cup
For Lamb or Pork. Do not let the meat marinade for longer than 2 hours.

Crush together in a bowl:
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Wisk in:
Grated zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 2 lemons
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup olive oil

We cut the lamb into one inch cubes, put them in a zip top bag in the fridge and let them marinate. Once ready to cook, thread them onto soaked wood skewers. Grill about 8-12 minutes total.
