How to Make Lamb Cubes In Spicy Yogurt Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Place 1.5 lbs of cubed lamb (about 1-inch cubes) in a shallow glass or ceramic dish in a single layer.
  3. Pour the marinade over the lamb, ensuring all cubes are thoroughly coated. Use tongs or your hands to gently toss the lamb.
  4. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  5. Remove the lamb from the marinade and reserve the marinade.
  6. Thread the lamb cubes onto 6 metal skewers. (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning).
  7. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
  8. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning frequently, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness (internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare). Baste with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of grilling for extra flavor.
  9. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.
