Grilled lamb kabobs are a quintessential dish that brings together rich, juicy meat with aromatic herbs and fresh vegetables. 


The combination of cumin, coriander, and smoked paprika creates a deep, savory flavor profile, while the brightness of lemon juice and fresh herbs balances it all out. 


Cooking the lamb on skewers not only makes for a stunning presentation but also allows the meat to cook evenly, retaining its tenderness and succulence.


This dish is perfect for summer cookouts, backyard BBQs, or even a quick weeknight dinner. It pairs beautifully with warm pita, cooling tzatziki, and a crisp Mediterranean salad. 


Whether you’re looking for a high-protein meal or a flavorful appetizer, these lamb kabobs are guaranteed to impress. Plus, the versatility of this dish allows you to switch up the vegetables or marinate the lamb overnight for even bolder flavors.




Juicy Mediterranean-Style Grilled Lamb Kebobs

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs lamb leg or shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks

  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks

  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks

  • 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds

  • Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, pepper, oregano, and parsley.

  2. Add the cubed lamb to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  4. Thread the marinated lamb pieces onto skewers, alternating with onion, bell peppers, and zucchini.

  5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F-400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  6. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is charred on the outside but still juicy inside.

  7. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

10 tips for matlaging av denne retten

  1. Bruk lam av høy kvalitet: Velg ben- eller skulderkutt for den perfekte balansen mellom ømhet og smak.
  2. Marinat over natten: Jo lenger lammen marinerer, jo dypere vil smakene trenge gjennom.
  3. Soak trepyd: Hvis du bruker spyd på tre, suger du dem i minst 30 minutter for å forhindre brenning.
  4. Skjær lammet jevnt: Sikre ensartede stykker sikrer til og med matlaging på grillen.
  5. Ikke overfylte grillspyd: legg igjen litt plass mellom ingrediensene for å sikre riktig varmesirkulasjon.
  6. Forvarm grillen: En varm grill gir en perfekt sear mens du holder innsiden saftig.
  7. Snu spyd av og til: roter for jevn matlaging og forkulling.
  8. La lammet hvile: hvile kjøttet i 5 minutter etter grilling låser i saftene.
  9. Par med kjølesauser: Tzatziki eller en sitron-garlisk yoghurtsaus forbedrer smaken.
  10. Eksperimenter med grønnsaker: bytte i sopp, kirsebærtomater eller aubergine for variasjon.

Server det med forslag

  • Varm pita eller naanbrød
