Ingredients

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring not to overcrowd the meat.
Step 5
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness.

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the lamb souvlaki with a keto-friendly side like a Greek salad or cauliflower rice. Enjoy your meal!
