Ingredients

Servings:2
  • 2 pounds Lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup Fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Fresh garden mint, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Stir in the finely chopped parsley and mint until the marinade is well combined.

  3. 3

    Add the cubed lamb to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated in the herb mixture.

  4. 4

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, though overnight is best for the deepest flavor.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Thread the marinated lamb pieces onto the skewers, leaving a tiny bit of space between each piece for even cooking.

  7. 7

    Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

  8. 8

    Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until a nice herb crust forms and the lamb reaches your desired level of doneness.
