Ingredients

Scale

Lamb Marinade

  • 2 lbs lamb (shoulder or leg), cut into cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Skewers and Vegetables

  • Wooden skewers (soaked in water)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup olives (Kalamata or green)

Dips and Garnishes

  • 1/2 cup hummus
  • 1/2 cup tzatziki
  • 4 pita breads, warmed
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Fresh parsley and dill for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper until combined. This marinade will infuse the lamb with vibrant Mediterranean flavors.
  2. Marinate the Lamb: Add the cubed lamb into the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight to maximize flavor absorption.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat to ensure a nice sear on the lamb.
  4. Skewer and Grill the Lamb: Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the soaked skewers evenly. Grill for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your preferred doneness with a slight char on the outside.
  5. Arrange the Mezze Board: On a large serving board, place the grilled lamb skewers at the center. Arrange cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, olives, hummus, tzatziki, and warmed pita breads artfully around the skewers.
  6. Add Final Touches: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the board and garnish with fresh parsley and dill to enhance the aroma and visual appeal.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the mezze board immediately as a communal, rich, and satisfying Mediterranean meal perfect for sharing with family and friends.

Notes

  • For best flavor, marinate the lamb overnight.
  • Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill.
  • Use fresh herbs like parsley and dill for authentic garnish and taste.
  • Adjust spice levels by reducing or increasing paprika and black pepper to suit your preference.
  • Warm pita breads just before serving to keep them soft and pliable.
  • Leftover lamb can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
