Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean lamb leg meat, trimmed of fat
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 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 to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Trim any excess fat from the lamb leg meat and cut it into small, bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch by 1 inch.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh rosemary, minced garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt to form a marinade.
Add the cubed lamb into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness with a slightly charred exterior.
Remove the speducci from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving hot. Enjoy!
