These zesty lamb skewers are a delightful twist on a classic dish, featuring a flavorful marinade and a vibrant mix of grilled vegetables.
Combine the smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground allspice, minced garlic, and olive oil in a mixing bowl.
Use freshly ground spices for a more intense flavor.
Cut the lamb into bite-sized cubes and add them to the marinade. Mix well to coat evenly.
Let the lamb marinate for at least 1 hour for the best flavor.
Slice the zucchini into thick rounds and prepare the cherry tomatoes.
Use a variety of colorful vegetables for an appealing presentation.
Thread the lamb, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers, alternating between them.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your liking, about 8 minutes.
Brush the skewers with additional olive oil while grilling to keep them moist.
Serve the skewers hot with your choice of sides, such as pita bread or a fresh salad.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or mint for added flavor.
