Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Assemble the kebabs by threading lamb, red and yellow peppers, and courgette onto skewers. Keep in mind to distribute the ingredients evenly among skewers.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon and beet juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the glaze. Coating should be smooth and well combined.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill and brush kebabs generously with the glaze.
- Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, until slightly charred on all sides, about 15 minutes.
- During the last few minutes of grilling, brush on a final layer of the glaze for an extra flavorful finish.
Plating:
Use a rectangular or long oval serving dish. Arrange the skewers diagonally on the dish. Garnish with some fresh herbs like mint or parsley on the side for a pop of color. Brush an additional glaze on the kebabs for a shiny, appealing look. You can even scatter a few lemon wedges around the skewers. The vibrant mix of red and yellow peppers with the green herbs and a shiny glaze is a feast for the eyes, creating an overall colorful and appetizing presentation.
