Ingredients

• 2 pounds Boneless lamb leg
• 1 cup Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 medium Bell peppers (any color), cut into 1-inch pieces
• 12 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water

Directions

Step 1

Cut the lamb into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

While the grill is heating, thread the marinated lamb cubes, red onion pieces, and bell pepper pieces alternately onto the soaked wooden skewers.

Step 6

Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill grates. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, turning the skewers occasionally, for a total of 12-15 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Step 7

Remove from grill and let the skewers rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the skewers warm, and enjoy as a main dish or with your favorite Whole30 compliant sides.
