Lamb Skewers

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Lamb

    Add the cubed lamb shoulder into the marinade and ensure all pieces are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Skewer the Lamb

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

  5. 5

    Grill the Skewers

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

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Warm the pita bread or flatbread on the grill for a minute. Remove from heat and fill each piece with grilled lamb, tzatziki sauce, shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and red onion.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, with extra tzatziki on the side if desired.
