Ingredients
- 500 grams lean lamb shoulder
- 120 ml plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 unit red onion, chopped
- 2 units bell peppers, assorted colors, chopped
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 6 units wooden or metal skewers
Directions
Step 1
Cut the lean lamb shoulder into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large bowl.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine the low-fat yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the lamb cubes and mix well to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Step 4
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes.
Step 7
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and vegetables have slightly charred edges.
Step 8
Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the kabobs with a side of salad or whole grain for a healthy and balanced meal.
