Grilled Lamb Cubes Skewers
Skewered lamb leg cubes marinated in lemon juice, garlic, and cumin, then charred over high heat until lightly blistered outside and pink-centered within. Served alongside grilled peppers and onion with a squeeze of lemon, this version trims oil and uses lean leg meat to keep calories in check.
