Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound lamb shoulder cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Harissa Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. 1 In a large bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic.
  2. 2 Add the lamb cubes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the spice mixture. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
  3. 3 Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. 4 Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  5. 5 In a small bowl, mix together the harissa paste, lemon juice, olive oil, and honey to make the harissa sauce.
  6. 6 Grill the kebabs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and charred on the edges.
  7. 7 Serve the lamb kebabs hot with the harissa sauce on the side or drizzled over the top.
