Method

  1. Combine all ingredients except lamb in a gallon size zip-top bag. Add lamb cubes and toss to coat; refrigerate overnight to marinate.
  2. The next day, drain lamb and discard marinade.
  3. Thread 4 lamb cubes onto one skewer. Repeat until all lamb has been skewered.
  4. Fire up a charcoal grill for 15 minutes. Add lamb and cook 8 minutes per side for medium rare.
  5. Serve warm with couscous.

Notes

  • The vinegar will not turn the lamb into mush as it is not acidic enough to tenderize.

Equipment

  • Soaked bamboo skewers
