Lamb Marinade

Rice

Skewers

Method

Marinating the Lamb

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Lamb

    Add the cubed lamb shoulder to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preparing the Rice

  1. 3

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Making the Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a bowl, combine the diced cucumber, diced tomato, and thinly sliced red onion.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine.

Grilling the Kebabs

  1. 7

    Prepare the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Kebabs

    Thread the marinated lamb onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

  3. 9

    Grill the Kebabs

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
