Ingredients

  • 1 lb Lamb, cubed
  • 1 medium Red bell pepper, cubed
  • 1 medium Yellow bell pepper, cubed
  • 1 medium Red onion, cubed
  • 1 medium Zucchini, cubed
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Horopito spice
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of Horopito spice, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until they form a smooth marinade.
  2. 2Add the 1 lb of cubed lamb to the bowl with the marinade. Toss the lamb cubes gently to ensure each piece is evenly coated. Let the lamb marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
  3. 3While the lamb marinates, prepare the vegetables. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, alternating them with the 1 medium red bell pepper cubes, 1 medium yellow bell pepper cubes, 1 medium red onion cubes, and 1 medium zucchini cubes.
  4. 4Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill, aim for a temperature of 400-450°F (200-230°C).
  5. 5Place the assembled skewers onto the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning the skewers every few minutes. The lamb is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and has a slightly browned exterior, and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
