Lemon-Garlic Lamb Kebabs

By markemilw

The lemon wedges caramelize on the grill, making them slightly sweet. When serving the skewers, squeeze the lemon juice over the lamb for added flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds leg of lamb, well-trimmed and cut into 20 equal cubes (about 1 inch each)
• 8 thin lemon wedges
• 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for grill
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• Feta Dipping Sauce
• Fresh parsley sprigs, for serving (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat grill to high. Assemble 4 long skewers, alternating 5 lamb cubes with 2 lemon wedges on each. Arrange skewers in a nonmetallic dish.

In a small bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Pour marinade over skewers; turn to coat. Let
stand at least 5 minutes (or cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally). Season with salt and pepper.

Lightly oil grates. Place skewers on grill; cover grill,
and cook, turning occasionally, until grill marks are visible and meat is cooked to desired doneness, 1 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve with sauce, and garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.
