Ingredients

  • 8 (approximately 6-inch long) thick rosemary sprigs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus a bit more for the grill if necessary)
  • 1 pound boneless leg of lamb, cut into approximately 32 bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • approximately 32 Kalamata olives, pitted
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  • Rinse and dry the rosemary. Then remove all but the top 1-inch or so of leaves from each sprig. Finely chop about half of the removed leaves -- you need 2 teaspoons of it. Set the 8 cleaned sprigs, and 2 teaspoons of finely chopped rosemary aside.
  • Add the olive oil, garlic and 2 teaspoons of finely chopped rosemary to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the pieces of lamb and mix to coat it well with everything.
  • Now begin adding the lamb and olives to the cleaned rosemary sprigs. Add 4 pieces of lamb, alternating with 4 olives on each one.
  • Preheat a stove-top or outdoor grill and season both sides of the kebabs with salt and pepper.
  • Once the grill is very hot, add the kebabs -- with a bit more olive oil if necessary. You should hear a sizzling sound when they hit the grill -- if you don't, it's not hot enough yet. Grill each side for about 3 minutes or so, just until the lamb is cooked through. (It's best when it's still a bit pink in the center.)
  • Arrange the kebabs on a platter, or individual serving plates, and sprinkle them with the Feta while they're still hot.
  • Serve and enjoy!
