Step by Step guide

Step 1

For this dish, use a small lamb shoulder, trimmed of bone and fat. To make the skewers juicier, it's advisable to leave a bit of fat. Cut the meat into cubes of about 4 cm. Slice the onion into wedges. Cut the pepper crosswise.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the oil, garlic, herbs, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Add the pieces of meat.

Step 3

Cover the bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator for 6–8 hours, stirring the contents occasionally.

Step 4

After the specified time, remove the meat from the marinade and thread it onto skewers, alternating with the onion and pepper wedges. Place them in a pan or on a grill and brush with the marinade.
