Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams Lamb leg
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the lamb leg into bite-sized cubes, approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) per side, ensuring equal size for even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Add the lamb cubes to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a resealable plastic bag, refrigerating for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for enhanced flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Metal skewers can be used without preparation.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the skewers, dividing the lamb equally among them.
Grill the skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the lamb reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer if needed, aiming for an internal temperature of 60°C (140°F) for medium-rare.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the Keto Lamb Speducci with your choice of keto-friendly sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad.
