Preparation

Marinate the lamb: In a bowl, toss lamb cubes with melted butter, garlic powder, oregano, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).

Make the dressing: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, and mint (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Assemble the skewers: Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

Cook the skewers:

Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high. Cook skewers for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely browned and cooked to preferred doneness.

Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place skewers on a foil-lined sheet and roast for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Stovetop: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear skewers in a bit of butter or oil for 8–10 minutes, turning to brown all sides.

Serve: Plate skewers and drizzle generously with the herb olive oil dressing. Garnish with extra herbs or lemon wedges if desired.
