Churrasco de Cordeiro is a deliciously grilled lamb dish that embodies the essence of Brazilian barbecue with its rich flavors and smoky aroma. Perfectly seasoned and tender, it's an ideal meal for meat lovers seeking an authentic kosher experience.

Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 400 grams
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Fresh rosemary - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Chili flakes - 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
• Skewers - 2 (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chili flakes to create a marinade.
2. Cut the lamb shoulder into 2.5 cm cubes and add to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours for better flavor.
3. Preheat the grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated lamb onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the lamb is nicely browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
6. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
7. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
