Step 1
Rinse the 1 lb lamb intestines thoroughly under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Cut the 0.5 lb lamb meat into 1-inch chunks.
Step 2
In a bowl, toss the lamb meat with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried oregano until evenly coated.
Step 3
Thread the lamb meat onto a spit or long skewer, alternating with pieces of intestine, wrapping the intestine around the meat as you go.
Step 4
Grill over medium-high heat, turning frequently, until the intestines are crisp and golden and the meat is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Let rest for 2 minutes before slicing.
Step 5
Slice the kokoretsi into bite-sized pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges or a sprinkle of extra oregano if desired.
