Ingredients
  

  • 300 g lamb cut into cubes
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 medium white onion
  • 1 whole lemon small (zest and juice)
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 70 ml olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 tbsp goat butter
  • 1 tsp dried chopped paprika mild or hot according to your preferences

Instructions
 

  • Cut the meat into 3x3 cm cubes and place it in a deep plate
  • Place all the spices with lemon juice, garlic and onion in a food processor. Add olive oil and pulse it until smooth. Pour over the meat, mix well with your hands
  • Cover the plate with the meat and place it in the refrigerator. Marinate it for 24 hours and mix occasionally
  • After the meat has been marinated, thread the pieces on the skewers. (You can use wooden or metallic skewers. If you opt for wooden, damp them with water to prevent burning on the grill)
