Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean lamb shoulder
- 120 ml plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 unit red onion, chopped
- 2 units bell peppers, assorted colors, chopped
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 6 units wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the lean lamb shoulder into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the low-fat yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the lamb cubes and mix well to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and vegetables have slightly charred edges.
Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the kabobs with a side of salad or whole grain for a healthy and balanced meal.
