Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Lamb leg or shoulder, boneless
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 Lemon, juiced
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 Wooden or metal skewers
Directions
Step 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Step 2
Cut the boneless lamb into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large bowl.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Pour the marinade over the lamb cubes, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best flavor.
Step 5
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, taking care to distribute the pieces evenly.
Step 7
Once the grill is hot, place the lamb skewers on the grill grates.
Step 8
Grill the lamb skewers for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Turn them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the Keto Grilled Lamb Skewers with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
