Servings: 4

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 10-15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lamb shoulder or leg, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice preference)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Lamb:
    In a large bowl, combine the lamb cubes, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the lamb evenly. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).
  2. Preheat Grill or Skewers:
    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  3. Thread the Skewers:
    Thread the marinated lamb onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
  4. Grill the Skewers:
    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C for medium-rare).
  5. Serve:
    Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
