Ingredients
  

  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless leg of lamb trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 8 wooden skewers
  • Chopped fresh herbs for garnish, such as mint or parsley

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add the lamb cubes and toss until all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to help prevent burning on the grill.
  • Thread the marinated lamb onto the skewers. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the skewers for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until the meat is evenly charred.
  • Remove from the grill, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve hot with your favorite sides, such as pita bread or a fresh salad.
