Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lamb

    Cut the lamb shoulder into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Lamb

    Pour the marinade over the lamb cubes, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or ideally overnight for better flavor.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the lamb is marinating, chop the bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Soak Skewers (if using wooden skewers)

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

Grilling

  1. 6

    Assemble the Skewers

    Thread the marinated lamb cubes, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating between meat and vegetables.

  2. 7

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).

  3. 8

    Grill the Skewers

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

  4. 9

    Remove and Rest

    Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
