Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless lamb leg
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 medium Bell peppers (any color), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 12 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the lamb into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are completely coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, thread the marinated lamb cubes, red onion pieces, and bell pepper pieces alternately onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill grates. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, turning the skewers occasionally, for a total of 12-15 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove from grill and let the skewers rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the skewers warm, and enjoy as a main dish or with your favorite Whole30 compliant sides.
