    Preparation Steps

    1

    Cut the lamb meat into approximately 2 cm cubes. Prepare a simple marinade by mixing the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and finely chopped rosemary.

    2

    Place the lamb cubes in the marinade and let them sit for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

    3

    Soak the wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

    4

    Thread the marinated lamb meat onto the skewers, ensuring that there is a small space between the pieces for even cooking.

    5

    Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook, turning the skewers occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

    6

    Before serving, sprinkle the skewers with fresh rosemary and serve with fresh lemon wedges. You can also drizzle with a little olive oil, if desired.
