  • Total Time: 1 to 2.5 hours
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ pounds boneless leg of lamb (or lamb loin), trimmed and cut into 1 to 1 ½ inch cubes
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 medium yellow onion (pureed or half grated and half chunked)
3 to 5 garlic cloves, minced
1 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground allspice or paprika
1 cup fresh parsley (optional)
Optional additions: balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder

Instructions

1. Season lamb cubes with kosher salt and black pepper.
2. In a food processor, combine onion, garlic, spices, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, and zest to create a marinade.
3. Coat lamb cubes with marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours or overnight.
4. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 1 hour before use to prevent burning.
5. Thread lamb onto skewers, leaving space between pieces, and preheat grill to medium-high (400°F).
6. Grill kabobs for 7-9 minutes, turning every couple of minutes, until browned and cooked to desired doneness (medium-rare suggested).
7. Let kabobs rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute before serving.

🥩 Marinating overnight enhances tenderness and taste.
