Reasons We Adore Kabobs

Depending on where they are served, kebabs, kabobs, or skewers of marinated lamb can often go by any of these names.

  • These are simple to prepare in advance and put on the grill before serving.
  • Lamb kabobs are flavorful and nutritious.
  • You can add your own vegetables, such as mushrooms or eggplant, to these skewers.
  • The flavor of lamb is incredibly mild, fresh, and slightly earthy. This dish includes a simple marinade that flavorfully enhances and aids in tenderizing the meat.

LAMB: A variety of cuts of lamb can be used to make kabobs. While a boneless leg of lamb is a little slimmer, a sirloin or a boneless shoulder has a larger ratio of fat to meat.

Red bell peppers and onions give lamb kabobs a colorful and crunchy boost. Red potato chunks, entire mushrooms, and bits of yellow squash or zucchini are also delicious options.

A marinade does more than just make food taste wonderful. Additionally, it has some acidity that aids in the tenderization of meat, some oil that facilitates grilling, and of course, a ton of taste. Lamb and lemon and garlic go so well together.

Grilling Lamb Kabobs: A Guide

  1. Cut the lamb into 1-inch chunks. Make the marinade (as directed in the recipe below).
  2. Lamb cubes should be marinated for at least six hours and ideally overnight.
  3. Skewer the lamb and vegetables; grill for 6–7 minutes; turn over; and cook for an additional 3–5 minutes.
  4. Before serving, give the kabobs five minutes to rest.

PRO HINT: Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes before using them. While the peppers and onions are being prepared, this is a good thing to do.

 Make It a Meal

  • Sauce: The mint sauce is fantastic with lamb or chimichurri. Sauce Tzatziki may also be served as a side (with some homemade pita bread of course).
  • Carb: Rice pilaf pairs well with kabobs (you could also use farro or other grains to make a pilaf).
  • Salad: A cucumber onion salad and other salads with a Greek influence, including Greek salad, are also healthy summertime choices. Add a tossed salad with your preferred fresh vegetables to make it straightforward.

How to Make the Best Kabobs

  • For a beautiful display and to ensure that the meat’s juices flavor the vegetables, alternate servings of lamb with them.
  • Do not overcook the kabobs; our internal cooking temperature is 145°F (I remove them a couple of degrees early).
  • Give the lamb at least two hours to marinate; however, the longer the better as the marinade helps the meat become softer.
  • Remove the meat and veggies from the skewers before storing lamb kabobs, and store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days in a closed container.
