Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring not to overcrowd the meat.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the lamb souvlaki with a keto-friendly side like a Greek salad or cauliflower rice. Enjoy your meal!
