Good grill seasoning for lamb?

[ssherie_]

I love the flavor of grilled lamb. I make grilled lamb two ways - either as a souvlaki or I will grill an actual leg. In the case of souvlaki, I marinate the cut up meat overnight in a ladolemono (oil, lemon, oregano, garlic usually).

I don't marinate the leg overnight, but I do brush it with ladolemono before grilling, and also during grilling.

Ay other ideas? I want to try something different but an option that is still Greek. Maybe just adding an herb or something? I open to suggestions.

Greek oregano, which is not the same as oregano in American grocery stores. Greek oregano is much more flavorful, a bit sharp and piquant. If you have an ethnic grocery store in your area you may be able to find it, otherwise order online. If you're not using Greek oregano, try it and you'll probably notice a difference.

My family does sea salt, pepper, lemon zest, and Greek oregano. We rub the meat with crushed garlic before adding the seasoning rub.
