Keto Middle Eastern Shish Kebabs Recipe

Keto Middle Eastern Shish Kebabs Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds (680 g) boneless lamb
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) olive oil
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) red wine vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 medium onion
• salt and pepper

Method

1. Cut the lamb into cubes about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) square
2. Put them in a large bowl or in a large resealable plastic bag
3. Mix together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and cumin
4. Reserve some marinade for basting and pour the rest over the lamb cubes
5. If using a bowl, stir to make sure cubes are coated
6. If using a bag, press out the air, seal the bag, and turn it a few times to coat
7. Either way, let the lamb marinate for at least several hours
8. If you’re going to use bamboo skewers, this is a good time to put them in water to soak
9. You’ll need 4 skewers
10. Get a fire going-you’ll want to set a gas grill at medium-low or let charcoal cook down pretty well
11. While that’s happening, lets make kebabs
12. Peel the onion and cut it into quarters, then into eighths, and separate it into the individual layers
13. Drain the lamb cubes
14. Skewer a lamb cube, then a layer of onion, then another lamb cube, and so forth, filling all four skewers evenly
15. Sprinkle the kebabs with salt and pepper and throw them on the fire
16. Grill the skewers slowly
17. Turn often and baste with the reserved marinade, using a clean utensil each time, until the meat is well done and tender-at least 20 minutes
