Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 400 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
2. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade and mix until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
