I am teaming up with Superior Farms Lamb to bring you these absolutely delicious Greek Lamb Skewers. As you guys know, I am married to a certain Greek man that absolutely loves lamb and he always gets so excited when I get the opportunity to work with Superior Farms Lamb, (like when I made this Honey Pumpkin Seed Crusted Rack of Lamb with Arugula Pesto) because their lamb really is, well, superior.

In the middle of summer, I am mostly thinking about what I can grill right now. It makes things so much easier and I loooove the no dishes part- you too? Plus that grill flavor adds an amazing element to a really tender well marinated lamb skewer accented with charred red onions- It is the most delicious combination! Plus the whole skewer element makes preparing the lamb so easy- it is really straightforward and simple to cook perfectly.

I served mine on a bed of simple quinoa and then topped it with Village Salad- Pete’s other favorite. I just added a little addition of toasted slivered almonds which I enjoyed for the toasty crunch. The rich and flavorful lamb is a great contrast to the bright fresh crunchy salad- you really can’t go wrong. This is an amazing week night dinner but would also be fantastic for serving to guests. Enjoy!
