Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless leg of lamb
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
- 12 pieces cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Trim the lamb of any visible fat and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, cumin, black pepper, and salt.
Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the lamb, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the skewers.
Grill the kabobs for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy lamb kabob meal.
