About Skewered lamb

Skewered lamb is a flavorful dish rooted in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, celebrated for its savory spices and tender meat. Typically prepared with cubes of lamb marinated in a blend of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and aromatic spices such as cumin, paprika, and coriander, this dish is then grilled to perfection on skewers. Lamb is an excellent source of protein, vitamins like B12, zinc, and selenium, which support energy production and immune function. However, lamb is relatively high in fat, particularly saturated fat, so moderation is key for those monitoring heart health. Paired with fresh salads or roasted vegetables, skewered lamb can offer a nutrient-rich and well-balanced meal. For healthier preparation, trimming excess fat and choosing lean cuts of lamb enhances its nutritional profile while retaining its delicious taste.
