Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) lamb or beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Wooden or metal skewers, soaked in water if wooden

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade

   In a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, garlic, olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.

2. Marinate the Meat

   Add the meat cubes to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

3. Assemble the Kebabs

   Thread the marinated meat onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

4. Grill the Kebabs

   Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the kebabs for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is browned on the outside and cooked to your desired doneness.

5. Serve

   Serve the kebabs hot with warm flatbreads, rice, or a fresh salad. Garnish with chopped parsley, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of yogurt sauce for extra flavor.
