Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 300 grams, cubed
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red chili flakes - 1/2 teaspoon
• Baking potatoes - 2 medium
• Yogurt - 100 grams
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lemon - 1, cut into wedges

Steps

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a bowl, combine lamb cubes, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. While the lamb is marinating, wash the baking potatoes and pierce them several times with a fork. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until tender.
4. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out a bit of the flesh to create space for the filling.
5. Thread the marinated lamb onto skewers and grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and nicely charred.
6. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with chopped parsley and a pinch of salt.
7. To serve, place the grilled lamb skewers over the baked potato halves and top with the yogurt mixture. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
