Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 300 grams, cubed

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the cubed lamb to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.
