Method

Marinating the Lamb

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Lamb

    Add the leg of lamb to the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Preparing the Kabobs

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the lamb is marinating, chop the fresh parsley and cut the onion into wedges.

  2. 4

    Skewering

    Once marinated, remove the lamb from the fridge and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Alternate threading the lamb cubes, onion wedges, and chopped parsley onto skewers.

Cooking the Kabobs

  1. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Grill the Kabobs

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

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill. Serve immediately with tzatziki sauce and warm pita bread.
