Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Kebabs
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, coriander, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
- Add the lamb cubes to the marinade and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
- Remove lamb from refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to bring to room temperature.
- Thread the marinated lamb onto metal skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces for even cooking. You should have about 6 skewers.
Make the Mint Yogurt Sauce
- In a medium bowl, combine coconut yogurt, chopped mint, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Whisk until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. The sauce can be made up to 1 day ahead.
Grill the Kebabs
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill kebabs for 10-12 minutes total, turning every 3 minutes to ensure even browning on all sides.
- The internal temperature should reach 145°F for medium-rare or 160°F for medium doneness.
- Remove from grill and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
- Serve immediately with the mint yogurt sauce on the side.
Notes
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the meat. The kebabs can be assembled and marinated up to 24 hours ahead. Store leftover cooked kebabs in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The mint yogurt sauce will keep for 2-3 days covered in the refrigerator.
