Lamb Shish Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Marinating the Lamb

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the lamb cubes and mix well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cooking the Rice

    Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice with 400 ml of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Grilling the Lamb

    Preheat the grill or skewers. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Preparing the Salad

    While the lamb is grilling, wash and chop the mixed greens. Combine in a bowl and set aside.

  5. 5

    Serving

    Serve the grilled lamb shish with rice, a side of mixed green salad, and fries if desired.
