Preparation
- Step 1
Trim meat of excess fat. Cut in 1- to 1 ½-inch cubes so it can be threaded on skewers. Put meat in single layer in glass baking dish.
- Step 2

- Step 3
Pour marinade over meat. Turn meat to coat it well, cover and refrigerate 24 hours to 3 days. Stir at least once every day.
- Step 4
Preheat grill or broiler to hot. Thread meat on skewers, alternating the cubes with pieces of pepper, onions and elephant garlic.
- Step 5
Puree the chopped garlic, the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice and a half cup of the yogurt together in a food processor. Stir into the remaining yogurt and add the remaining ¼ cup of mint. Set aside.
- Step 6
Grill or broil skewers, turning once, until meat is cooked to desired degree of doneness, 10 to 20 minutes.
- Step 7
Remove meat and vegetables from skewers and serve with yogurt sauce, in pita bread if desired.
