Kuzu Şaşlık

Kuzu Şaşlık is a flavorful Turkish BBQ dish featuring tender lamb skewers marinated with aromatic spices and grilled to perfection. This gluten-free delight is perfect for outdoor gatherings or a cozy dinner at home.

Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 400 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Skewers - 4 (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.
2. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
