I'm not a big fan of lamb, but these kebabs were surprisingly delicious. The marinade really tenderized the meat, and the spices gave it a wonderful flavor.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The kebabs were easy to make and cooked evenly on my grill. The couscous was also a great side dish, and it soaked up all the delicious juices from the kebabs.

The lamb kebabs were succulent and juicy, with a perfectly charred exterior and a tender, flavorful interior. The couscous was light and fluffy, and the combination of spices and herbs gave it a delicious depth of flavor.
