Perfect for seasonal gatherings or a delightful dinner, these kebabs echo creativity and kinship, inspiring moments of shared culinary joy.

Ingredients

• 500g lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground paprika
• 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh coriander and lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground paprika, ground turmeric, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
2. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
4. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, packing them tightly but leaving some space for even cooking.
5. Grill the kebabs for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
6. Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
7. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve with lemon wedges for a zesty finish.

Helpful Tips

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
• If you prefer a sweeter profile, a tablespoon of honey can be mixed into the marinade.
• This recipe works well with chicken or beef if lamb is not available.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until warm.
