Lamb Kebab

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the 0.5 cup yogurt, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper until smooth.

Step 2

Add the 1.5 lb lamb cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes first.

Step 4

Thread the lamb cubes onto skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces so they cook evenly. Discard any leftover marinade.

Step 5

Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the lamb is charred on the outside and reaches your desired doneness (about 135°F for medium-rare).

Step 6

Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. The lamb should be juicy and slightly pink inside if you like it medium-rare.
