Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 12 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir to create a marinade.
Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, and toss to coat them thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate the lamb for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat a grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, dividing the meat evenly among the skewers.
Grill or broil the speducci for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness and has a nice char on the outside.
Remove the skewers from the grill or broiler, and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the Paleo Lamb Speducci with a side of fresh salad or grilled vegetables to complete your meal.
