Ingredients
  

  • ½ kg lamb leg or shoulder
  • 100 g grated onion
  • 1 clove of garlic crushed
  • 1 tsp grated lemon peel
  • 1 tsp rosemary finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp cayenne
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 4 Tbsp of olive oil

Method
 

  1. Cut the lamb into 2.5cm chunks.
  2. Combine the ingredients and pour over the meat cubes. Mix thoroughly, chill and marinate for 3-6 hours (or overnight).
  3. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them 30 minutes before cooking to stop them burning.
  4. Heat a grill, barbecue or griddle pan. Thread the chunks of lamb onto 4-6 skewers. Season, then grill for about 5-10 minutes, turning regularly, until they’re cooked to your liking.
  5. Rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
  6. Serve with salad and/or grilled veggies or tucked into grilled pita or flatbread with salad. Drizzle with a yoghurt dressing.
