Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Start marinating the meat a few hours before cooking. Cut the meat from the lamb leg into small pieces. Slice the onion into rings, chop the cilantro coarsely.

    Layer the meat, cilantro, and onion in a pot. Salt to taste. Let marinate.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    For coals, use fruit wood: cherry, plum, or apricot. They give meat a subtle sweet flavor.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    While the coals are burning down, thread the meat onto skewers. Remove the cilantro from the meat — it will turn to ash when grilling. Thread the pieces with gaps between them, not tightly packed together.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Onions can be fried on a separate skewer.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Frequently turn the skewers so the meat cooks evenly. Check doneness with a knife: if blood no longer oozes from the cut, the meat is ready.
