Arrosticini

Arrosticini are traditional Italian skewers made with tender lamb, seasoned to perfection and grilled for a smoky flavor. This healthy BBQ dish is perfect for summer gatherings, offering a delightful balance of protein and flavor.

• Lamb shoulder - 300 grams, cut into 2 cm cubes
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh rosemary - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Salt - 1 teaspoon

• Lemon - 1, juiced
• Wooden skewers - 4, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, combine the lamb cubes, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the lamb evenly.
2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill or BBQ to medium-high heat.
