A delightful twist on the classic Greek lamb brochettes, these Mediterranean Lamb Skewers are perfect for a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Cut the lamb into bite-sized cubes, ensuring uniformity for even cooking.
Uniformly sized pieces ensure even cooking and a consistent texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped onion, oregano, and thyme.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Marinating overnight enhances the flavor absorption.
Preheat the grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is hot to achieve a good sear on the lamb.
Thread the marinated lamb onto skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water beforehand to prevent burning.
Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness, about 9-12 minutes.
Baste the skewers with leftover marinade during grilling for extra flavor.
Serve the skewers hot with your choice of sides and garnishes.
Pair with a fresh salad or tzatziki sauce for a complete meal.
