Cumin Lamb Kebabs

Cumin Lamb Kebabs are a vibrant and flavorful Moroccan dish that brings together juicy lamb marinated with aromatic spices, grilled to perfection. These gluten-free kebabs are perfect for a backyard BBQ or a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 300 grams, cubed
• Cumin seeds - 2 teaspoons
• Coriander seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Skewers - 4 (soaked in water if wooden)

Steps

1. In a dry skillet, toast the cumin and coriander seeds over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, then grind them in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground spices, paprika, minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
3. Add the cubed lamb to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
4. Preheat your grill or BBQ to medium-high heat.
5. Thread the marinated lamb onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Grill the kebabs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
7. Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
