Arrosticini di Pecora

Arrosticini di Pecora are traditional Italian skewers made from tender lamb, seasoned simply to highlight the meat's natural flavors. Perfect for grilling, these skewers bring the essence of rustic Italian cuisine to your BBQ.

Ingredients

• lamb shoulder - 400 grams, cut into 2 cm cubes
• sea salt - 1 teaspoon
• fresh rosemary - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• lemon - 1, cut into wedges

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the lamb cubes with sea salt, chopped rosemary, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well to ensure the meat is evenly coated.
2. Soak wooden skewers in water for about 10 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
3. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the soaked skewers, packing them tightly but without squishing.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the skewers on the grill.
5. Cook the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving with lemon wedges.
