Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless lamb leg
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 1 large zucchini
Instructions
Cut the boneless lamb leg into 1.5-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the lamb cubes and mix well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
While the lamb is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini into 1.5-inch chunks.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
Thread the marinated lamb, red bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini onto skewers, alternating between pieces of meat and vegetables.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The lamb should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Keto Lamb Kabobs warm, with a side of keto-friendly salad or grilled vegetables if desired.
