- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano

- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup of olive oil, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cubed lamb to the bowl and toss to coat the meat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated lamb, red onion, and bell peppers onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients.
- Grill the kebabs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
- Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the grilled lamb kebabs with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Lamb kebabs have a rich history dating back to ancient times, originating in the Middle East and Central Asia. This succulent dish consists of marinated lamb pieces skewered and grilled to perfection. Renowned chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi have popularized this dish, infusing it with modern flavors and techniques. In the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon and Turkey, lamb kebabs are a staple of street food culture, with vendors expertly grilling them over open flames, infusing the meat with a smoky aroma. The key to perfecting lamb kebabs lies in the marinade, typically a blend of yogurt, spices, and herbs, ensuring tender and flavorful meat. Today, the best lamb kebabs can be found in Istanbul, where traditional recipes are honored and perfected.
