The Main Dish: Grilled Lamb Souvlaki

Ingredients:

• 1 pound lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

To make the marinade, mix together the olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated lamb, red onion, and bell peppers onto the skewers, alternating between each ingredient. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Serve the grilled lamb souvlaki with a side of tztatziki sauce and warm pita bread for a complete and authentic Greek dinner experience.

Side Dish: Greek Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 head of romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1 cucumber, peeled and diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup kalamata olives
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, kalamata olives, and feta cheese. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to evenly coat. Serve alongside the grilled lamb souvlaki for a refreshing and healthy side dish.

Dessert: Baklava

Ingredients:

• 1 package of phyllo dough
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup chopped pistachios
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, pistachios, and cinnamon. Lay out a sheet of phyllo dough and brush with melted butter. Add another sheet of phyllo dough on top and brush with butter again. Repeat this process until you have 8-10 layers of phyllo dough.

Sprinkle a handful of the nut mixture on top of the phyllo dough. Lay another sheet of phyllo dough on top and brush with butter. Continue this layering process until you have used all of the nut mixture. Finish with 8-10 layers of phyllo dough on top, brushing each layer with butter.

Cut the baklava into squares or triangles and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. While the baklava is baking, heat the honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Once the baklava is done, pour the warm honey over the top. Let cool before serving.
