   • In a 13x9x2 inch glass baking dish, whisk together olive oil, ground cumin, ground black pepper, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

2. Marinate Lamb:

   • Add the cubed lamb to the marinade in the dish. Toss the lamb to coat it evenly with the oil and spice mixture.
   • Let the lamb marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate for 1.5 to 4 hours, tossing occasionally to ensure even marination.

3. Prepare Grill or Broiler:

   • Preheat your grill to medium heat, or preheat your broiler.

4. Skewer Lamb:

   • Thread the marinated lamb pieces onto skewers, dividing them equally (about 5 pieces per skewer).

5. Grill or Broil:

   • Grill or broil the lamb kebabs to your desired doneness, turning occasionally. This typically takes about 6 minutes for medium-rare lamb, but adjust cooking time based on your preference and the heat of your grill or broiler.

6. Serve:

   • Once cooked, remove the lamb kebabs from the skewers and serve hot. They pair wonderfully with a side of couscous, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Tips for Success

• Marination Time: Allowing the lamb to marinate enhances the flavors. Longer marination (up to 4 hours) in the refrigerator can intensify the taste.
• Grilling/Broiling: Keep an eye on the lamb kebabs while grilling or broiling to prevent overcooking, as lamb cooks relatively quickly.
• Serving Suggestions: Consider serving these kebabs with a cooling yogurt sauce, a squeeze of lemon, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added freshness.
