  • Use wooden skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
  • Skewer the lamb properly: Alternate between lamb pieces and vegetables on the skewers to ensure even cooking and prevent the lamb from drying out.
  • Grill over medium heat: Grill the kabobs over medium heat to prevent the lamb from burning and allow it to cook evenly.
  • Rotate the kabobs regularly: Rotate the kabobs frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent one side from overcooking.
  • Check for doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the lamb. Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
  • Let the kabobs rest: Allow the kabobs to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute.
