Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 500g cubed lamb leg to the marinade and toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  3. Step 3: Soak 6 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Step 4: Thread the marinated lamb cubes evenly onto the soaked skewers.
  5. Step 5: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning until the lamb is nicely charred on the edges and cooked to medium rare (internal temp about 145°F).
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with your favorite Mediterranean sides.
