Ingredients
- Lamb shoulder - 500 grams
- Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
- Greek yogurt - 100 grams
- Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
- Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
- Ground paprika - 1 teaspoon
- Salt - 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
- Fresh rosemary - 2 sprigs, chopped
- Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
Steps
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground paprika, salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
- Cut the lamb shoulder into 4 equal pieces and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
- Remove the lamb from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
- Grill the lamb pieces for about 15-20 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness, using a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of at least 60°C (140°F) for medium-rare.
- Once cooked, let the lamb rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve the kebabs hot with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
