Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless lamb leg or shoulder, trimmed and cubed
- 120 grams Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (sweet or smoked, based on preference)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly cracked
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers (soaked in water if wooden)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cubed lamb to the bowl and mix well to ensure all the pieces are coated evenly with the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Remove the lamb from the refrigerator and thread the marinated pieces onto skewers, ensuring there is a small amount of space between each piece for even cooking.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the lamb is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness (about 12-15 minutes total for medium doneness).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the lamb kebabs hot with a side of salad, flatbread, or rice.
