Zesty Lemon-Herb Lamb Kebabs
Ingredients:
- 500 grams cubed lamb leg or shoulder
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 large red onion
- 2 lemons
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
Cooking Instructions:
- Cut the bell peppers, zucchinis, and red onion into large pieces that will fit onto your skewers and set them aside.
- Make your marinade by combining the juice and zest of the lemons, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, dried rosemary, capers, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cubed lamb and mix until the meat is fully coated. Let it sit for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Skewer the marinated lamb and vegetables, alternating each on the skewer. Keep some room between each piece to ensure even grilling.
- Grill the skewers for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning often until the lamb is cooked to your preference and the vegetables are tender.

Plating:
Place two skewers on a long, narrow serving plate. Drizzle a small amount of the marinade over the skewers and scatter a few capers around for garnish. Serve with a quartered lemon slice on the side for guests to add extra zesty flavor if desired. The meal should look vibrant and colorful with the grilled vegetables providing a contrast to the golden-brown lamb. The skewers’ placement should be parallel, encouraging a route of exploration for the taste buds from one end of the skewer to the other.
