Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 400 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Yogurt - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade and mix well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably 4 hours for better flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
