Ingredients
  

  • 500 g Lamb Leg Cut into cubes
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • Salt To taste
  • Black Pepper To taste
  • 1 Lemon Squeezed

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, pepper and lemon juice.
  • Add the cubed lamb meat to the bowl and mix until it's evenly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave it in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  • If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Thread the lamb meat onto the skewers.
  • Grill the kebabs for 15-20 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the meat is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
  • Serve the kebabs hot with some pita bread, a side salad and some tzatziki sauce.

Notes

  • You can also add vegetables like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, or zucchini to the skewers if you like.
  • Lamb leg meat can be substituted with lamb shoulder or neck meat.
  • If you don't have a grill or grill pan, you can also cook the kebabs on a barbecue or in the oven.
