Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Marinade Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix together minced garlic, chopped rosemary, ground cumin, ground coriander, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate Lamb

    Add the lamb cubes to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for best flavor.

Kebab Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare Skewers

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

  2. 4

    Skewer Lamb

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

Cooking

  1. 5

    Grill Lamb Kebabs

    Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare Salad and Pita

    While the lamb is grilling, prepare the salad by mixing diced cucumber, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley in a bowl. Warm the pita bread on the grill for the last 2-3 minutes.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Once the kebabs are cooked, remove them from the grill and serve with warm pita bread and the salad. Add yogurt on the side if desired.
