Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless lamb leg or shoulder, trimmed and cubed
• 120 grams Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (sweet or smoked, based on preference)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly cracked
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers (soaked in water if wooden)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the cubed lamb to the bowl and mix well to ensure all the pieces are coated evenly with the marinade.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Remove the lamb from the refrigerator and thread the marinated pieces onto skewers, ensuring there is a small amount of space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the lamb is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness (about 12-15 minutes total for medium doneness).

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the lamb kebabs hot with a side of salad, flatbread, or rice.
