Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless lamb leg
• 0.25 cups extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cups lemon juice
• 4 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 unit red bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 unit yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 unit red onion, cut into chunks
• 20 units cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Cut the lamb into 1.5-inch cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the lamb cubes. Toss the lamb until thoroughly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Thread the marinated lamb, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers, alternating between meat and vegetables.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the grill. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, turning frequently, until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve hot with a side of couscous or a fresh Mediterranean salad.
