Ingredients

• 1 kg Lamb shoulder
• 1 large Onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 8 Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the lamb shoulder into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. A food processor can be used for ease and consistency.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb cubes, chopped onion, garlic, and parsley.

Step 5

Add ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to the bowl.

Step 6

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly using your hands to ensure the spices and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the lamb.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the lamb marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. For best results, marinate overnight.

Step 8

Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.

Step 9

Thread the marinated lamb pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving some space between each piece to allow for even cooking.

Step 10

Place the kebabs on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure all sides are evenly charred and cooked.

Step 11

Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve the lamb kebabs hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired.
