Kuzu Kuzu Şiş Kebab

Kuzu Kuzu Şiş Kebab is a deliciously marinated lamb skewer dish that embodies the flavors of traditional Turkish BBQ. Perfectly grilled, these kebabs are juicy, tender, and offer a delightful smokiness that pairs beautifully with fresh vegetables and aromatic herbs.

Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 400 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Bell peppers - 1 medium, cut into 2.5 cm pieces
• Red onion - 1 medium, cut into wedges
• Wooden skewers - 4, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
3. While the lamb marinates, prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell pepper and red onion into pieces suitable for skewering.
4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
5. Thread the marinated lamb, bell peppers, and red onion onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the lamb and vegetables.
6. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
7. Remove the kebabs from the grill, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
