Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Ensure the lamb is cut into uniform pieces for even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the lamb reaches 160°F (71°C). Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the marinade for an extra tangy flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat the lamb in a pan to keep it moist.
