Grilled Lamb Kebabs

Grilled Lamb Kebabs

Tender and flavorful, these Grilled Lamb Kebabs are marinated in a creamy Greek yogurt mixture infused with lemon juice, olive oil, and a savory Greek seasoning blend. The marinade tenderizes the lamb and infuses it with bright, herby flavors. After marinating for 2–4 hours, the lamb is skewered and grilled over medium-high heat for 10–15 minutes, turning frequently until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Perfect for summer gatherings, these kebabs pair beautifully with a fresh seasonal salad or your favorite Mediterranean side.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Lamb Stew Meat
  • 16 oz Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions
 

Marinade:

  • Combine yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and seasoning.
  • Add lamb stew meat. Cover completely. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours. (The lactic acid in the yogurt helps break down the lamb, making it tender.)

Grilling:

  • Heat grill to medium high heat. Set up for direct cooking.
  • Place directly on the grill. Cooking for 10-15 minutes total. Flip skewers every few minutes until the temperature reaches 145 degrees.
  • Serve kebabs with a summer salad/side.

Lard & Olive Oil Soap

Lard & Olive Oil Soap

This simple lard and olive oil soap recipe (3:1 ratio) creates a rich, moisturizing bar perfect for everyday use. Made with rendered lard, olive oil, and optional essential oils, it’s a traditional, skin-friendly soap that’s easy to craft at home.
Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz Rendered Lard
  • 4 oz Olive Oil
  • 6 oz Distilled Water
  • 2.4 oz Lye
  • 0.5 - 1 oz Essential Oils (optional)
  • 1 Bunch of Herbs of your Choice (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare: Wear safety gear (gloves, goggles). Weigh ingredients.
  • Lye Solution: Using a heat resistant bowl, slowly add lye to water (never the other way around). The chemical reaction will cause the mixture to heat up rapidly. Stir until the lye is dissolved. Cool to 100°F-120°F.
  • Melt Lard: Heat the lard on the stove until melted, then cool to 100°F-120°F.
  • Mix Oils: Combine melted lard and olive oil in a heat resistant bowl.
  • Add Lye: Slowly pour lye solution into oils. Using a hand mixer or immersion blender stir until “trace” (a custard-like consistency that leaves a trail when mixing).
  • Add Essential Oils: Stir in essential oils if desired.
  • Mold: Pour mixture into the mold, smoothing the top.
  • Cure: Cover, let set for 24–48 hours. Remove from mold, cut into bars. Cure for 4-6 weeks before use.
