Marinating the Lamb

In a large bowl, combine the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, salt, and black pepper.
Add lamb
Add the lamb cubes, tossing well to coat.
Chill
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Chef’s Tip: Let the lamb marinate overnight for maximum flavor.
Preparing the Tzatziki Sauce
Mix ingredients
In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, and salt.
Ensure the cucumber is well-drained to avoid a watery sauce.
Stir
Stir until well combined.
Grate the cucumber on a cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess moisture before adding it to the yogurt.
Chill
Chill until ready to serve.
Cooking Process
Skewering
Thread the lamb cubes, bell peppers, and onion pieces alternately onto skewers.
Grilling
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is done to your liking.
