Ingredients
- 500 grams lean lamb leg meat, trimmed of fat
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 10 pieces wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Step 2
Trim any excess fat from the lamb leg meat and cut it into small, bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch by 1 inch.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh rosemary, minced garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt to form a marinade.
Step 4
Add the cubed lamb into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 5
Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness with a slightly charred exterior.
Step 8
Remove the speducci from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving hot. Enjoy!
