Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1.5 lbs lamb leg cut into 1-inch cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated lamb cubes evenly onto 8 soaked wooden skewers.
  4. Step 4: Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes, until lamb is cooked to medium doneness and slightly charred on edges.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill and garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley before serving.
