Ingredients

• 500 g lamb leg or shoulder (boneless, cubed)
• 60 ml olive oil
• 30 ml lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 whole red onion (cut into chunks)
• 2 whole bell peppers (any color, cut into chunks)
• 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the cubed lamb to the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion and bell pepper.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your preferred doneness and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 7

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Greek lamb kebabs hot with a side of tzatziki sauce, warm pita bread, or a fresh Greek salad.
