Lamb Shish Kebab
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs of lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon of coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 large red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 large bell pepper, cut into chunks
- Metal or bamboo skewers
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of coriander, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cubed lamb to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated lamb, red onion, and bell pepper onto the skewers, alternating between 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 from the grill and let the kebabs rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with pita bread, rice, or a fresh salad.
