Instructions

  1. 1.

    Combine all ingredients for the Marinade and place in a freezer bag.

    Cut the meat into about 2 cm cubes, add to the bag with the Marinade, seal well and knead slightly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

  3. 3.

    Soak eight wooden skewers in water. Wash and dry the salad for garnish.

    Slice the lemon into eight wedges.

  9. 9.

    Arrange the skewers with the warmed bread on plates, sprinkle salad over, drizzle with yogurt sauce, and serve. Offer remaining sauce separately.
