Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 whole Red onion, cut into large chunks
- 1 whole Bell pepper, cut into large chunks
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for better flavor.
Meanwhile, prepare the red onion and bell pepper by cutting them into chunks that are roughly the same size as the lamb cubes.
Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated lamb, onion chunks, and bell pepper pieces onto the skewers, alternating between the lamb and the vegetables.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is nicely browned on the outside and cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled lamb skewers with a fresh salad or your favorite paleo side dish.
