Grilled Meat on Skewers

Here's a recipe for Moroccan-Style Grilled Meat on Skewers (Brochettes):

 INGREDIENTS:

•   500g lamb or beef (cubed, boneless)
•   2 tablespoons olive oil
•   1 tablespoon lemon juice
•   1 teaspoon ground cumin
•   1 teaspoon paprika
•   1 teaspoon ground coriander
•   1 teaspoon ground turmeric
•   1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
•   1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•   3 cloves garlic (minced)
•   1 small onion (grated or finely chopped)
•   2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
•   2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
•   Salt and pepper to taste
•   Wooden or metal skewers

 INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper (if using), cinnamon, garlic, onion, parsley, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Combine well.
2.  Marinate the Meat: Add the cubed lamb or beef to the marinade, making sure all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.
3.  Assemble the Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if using them to prevent burning. Thread the marinated meat cubes onto the skewers.
4.  Grill the Meat: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked to your liking.
5.  Serve: Serve hot with a side of Moroccan couscous, grilled vegetables, or flatbread.

Enjoy your flavorful Moroccan brochettes!
