Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cube the Lamb

    Cut the lamb shoulder into 1 to 1.5-inch cubes and place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare Marinade

    In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Lamb

    Pour the marinade over the cubed lamb, ensuring that all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.

Skewering

  1. 4

    Prepare Vegetables

    Cut the bell peppers and onion into chunks. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. 5

    Assemble Skewers

    Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the skewers, alternating with chunks of bell pepper, onion, and cherry tomatoes until all ingredients are used.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 7

    Cook the Skewers

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

  3. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
