Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 400 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, olive oil, chopped parsley, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
2. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
3. Preheat a grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
