🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Prepare the marinade: in a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, spices, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Add lamb cubes, coat well, cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2h, ideally overnight.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 200°C. Wash potatoes (cut large ones in half). Mix them with oil, salt, pepper and rosemary. Spread on a baking tray and bake for 20 min, turn and continue for 15-20 min until golden and crispy.

  3. 3

    Take lamb out of the fridge 30 min before cooking. Lightly drain and thread cubes onto skewers, leaving space between them. Preheat grill, barbecue or griddle.

  4. 4

    Cook skewers: 5-6 minutes per side in oven/grill (12 min total) or 10-12 min on high heat on barbecue/griddle, turning and basting with reserved marinade. Let rest 5 min.

  5. 5

    Arrange hot potatoes on a platter, add skewers. Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges and optional garlic yogurt sauce.

Tips & Tricks
  • For more tender and flavorful meat, marinate the lamb overnight (12h).
  • Choose shoulder for more flavor, leg for more tenderness, or a mix of both.
  • Do not pierce the meat during cooking to keep the juices inside.
  • For crispier potatoes, space them well on the tray and do not cover them.
  • Resting the meat after cooking is essential for even juice distribution.
  • Serve with a green salad (mesclun, arugula) or a tomato and red onion salad. Wine pairing: bold red (Cahors, Côtes-du-Rhône) or fruity Provence rosé.
