Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean lamb loin
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. This will prevent them from burning during grilling.
Trim the lamb loin of any excess fat and cut into small, evenly sized pieces, about 2 cm in size.
In a medium-sized bowl, prepare the marinade by combining finely chopped rosemary and thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, and salt.
Add the lamb pieces to the marinade, mixing thoroughly to ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated lamb pieces onto the soaked skewers, making sure not to pack them too tightly to allow even cooking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness (internal temperature should be at least 145°F for safety).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute.
Serve the heart-healthy lamb speducci with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and nutritious meal.
