Ingredients

• 1 pound Lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 whole Red onion, cut into large chunks
• 1 whole Bell pepper, cut into large chunks
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for better flavor.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the red onion and bell pepper by cutting them into chunks that are roughly the same size as the lamb cubes.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated lamb, onion chunks, and bell pepper pieces onto the skewers, alternating between the lamb and the vegetables.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is nicely browned on the outside and cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the grilled lamb skewers with a fresh salad or your favorite paleo side dish.
