Preparation Steps
1
Cut the lamb meat into even, approximately 2 cm (¾ inch) cubes. This makes it easier to thread onto the skewers and ensures even cooking.
2
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and rosemary leaves. Add the meat to the marinade and let it sit for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
3
Soak the wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
4
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the skewers, making sure to leave a small space between the pieces of meat for better heat distribution.
5
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook them on all sides for 2-3 minutes, until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust.
6
Serve the arrosticini hot with a fresh salad, crusty bread, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
