Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless lamb shoulder or leg
• 60 ml Olive oil
• 50 ml Lemon juice
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Red onion
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless lamb into approximately 2-inch cubes. Ensure the pieces are uniform for even cooking.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the lamb cubes to the marinade and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.

Step 4

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 5

Chop the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into pieces similar in size to the lamb cubes.

Step 6

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated lamb pieces alternately with pieces of red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion onto the soaked skewers.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 9

Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot.
