Ingredients

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

Steps

  1. Cut the lamb shoulder into 2.5 cm cubes and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
  3. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
  5. Thread the marinated lamb onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
  6. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
  7. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Kuzu Kebab with a side of keto-friendly vegetables or salad.
