Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, marinate the lamb in the spice mixture for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the refrigerator.
• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before threading the lamb to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of spice according to your preference. Add more chili powder for extra heat or reduce it for a milder flavor.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover lamb skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the skewers on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the reheated skewers with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for a burst of freshness.
