Easy Lamb Kabobs Recipe

This easy lamb kabobs recipe is one of the most authentic and spectacular of easy Greek recipes.

1 pound (500g) lamb shoulder meat

2 tablespoons olive oil

lemon juice from 1 lemon

3 cloves garlic, minced

½ teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon ground coriander

½ teaspoon sweet paprika

salt, pepper to taste

1 medium onion

2. Mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, spices, salt and pepper.

3. Cover meat cubes with the mixture.

4. If you’re doing it in advance, leave the meat in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

5. If not, leave the meat for about 20 minutes outside and it will do the work.

6. Heat your BBQ to quite high heat.

7. Cut the onion into 8.

8. Put meat cube on a skewer, then put piece of onion and then again put meat cube and then onion and so on and on, you understand the idea. Use preferably metal skewers (if you use wooden skewers soak them in water for at least 20 minutes so they won’t burn when you place them on BBQ).

9. BBQ meat for 4-6 minutes on each side, it depends on your beloved doneness.

10. Serve with greek salad, fresh pita bread and tzasiki or hummus on top.

11. Lamb meat can be quite expensive in North America. For this particular recipe you’ll need the cheapest cut you can get, usually it’s the lamb shoulder.

My extra flavorful "Twist" for this recipe: leave the fat on the meat during the cooking, it will give a true lamb taste to your kabobs.

Another extra flavorful and healthy “Twist”: add 1 cup of cherry or grape tomatoes and place between onion and meat. You can add cubed to 1 inch (2.5cm) large red bell pepper as well.
