Mediterranean Lamb Skewers Recipe
Step 1: In bowl, toss lamb cubes with olive oil, balsamic, salt and pepper, rosemary and olives. Cover and marinate for at least one hour at room temperature or up to one day in refrigerator.
Step 2: Assemble skewers: Remove rosemary leaves from branches, leaving the leaves at the top 1/3 of each branch intact. Arrange one cherry tomato on each branch. Wrap the zucchini ribbons around the mini bocconcini and skewer one on each branch following the tomato. Add a piece of lamb and arrange in a single layer on a tray.
Step 3: Preheat grill or barbecue to medium-high. In bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, cumin, salt and pepper. Drizzle over skewers, turning to coat. Grill on preheated barbecue, turning once, until lamb is medium-rare and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side.
