How to Make Grilled Lamb Kebabs With Cumin And Cinnamon

  1. In a 13x9x2 inch glass baking dish, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs of cubed lamb (about 1-inch cubes) to the dish and toss gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
  3. Marinate the lamb at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate for 1.5 to 4 hours, tossing occasionally to redistribute the marinade.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your broiler.
  5. Thread the marinated lamb pieces onto skewers, dividing them equally among the skewers.
  6. Grill the kebabs for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. For well-done, grill for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  7. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional).
