Ingredients
- 1 lb lamb leg
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large red bell peppers
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp rosemary
- 1 tbsp thyme
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- 1Trim the lamb leg and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large bowl.
- 2Prepare the marinade by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.
- 3Pour the marinade over the lamb, mixing well to ensure each piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
- 4Cut the zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion into chunks roughly the size of the lamb cubes.
- 5If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- 6Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat.
- 7Thread the marinated lamb and vegetables alternately onto the skewers.
- 8Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender and lightly charred, about 10-15 minutes.
- 9Let the kebabs rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- 10Serve the kebabs hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
- 11For a complete meal, serve with a side of quinoa or a fresh Mediterranean salad.
