Arrosticini Abruzzesi are traditional Italian skewers made from tender lamb meat, seasoned simply yet beautifully to highlight the natural flavors. Perfect for grilling, these skewers are a high-protein delight that embodies the rustic charm of Abruzzo's culinary heritage.

Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 400 grams, cut into 2 cm cubes
• Sea salt - 1 teaspoon
• Fresh rosemary - 2 sprigs, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - to taste
• Wooden skewers - 4, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the cubed lamb, sea salt, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the lamb is evenly coated.
2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate the lamb in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to enhance the flavors.
3. Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
6. Remove the skewers from the grill, allow them to rest for a couple of minutes, and then serve hot.
