Or jump straight to the recipe card at the bottom of this page
HISTORY ⚔
According to stories, shish kebabs were invented by medieval Turkish soldiers in
the middle east who used their swords to cook their meat over fires, though
realistically, this cooking method was used much earlier than this.
In Turkish, shish kebab translates to “gobbets of meat roasted on a spit or
metal skewers.” It would have been a very convenient way of cooking before the
invention of the oven and grill.
A lamb shish kebab is a Middle Eastern dish that consists of marinated lamb,
skewered, and then cooked on a hot grill.
INGREDIENTS 🥩
To create the most mouth-watering lamb shish kebab recipe, that taste great,
you'll need these essential ingredients.
LAMB
Undoubtedly, lamb is the key ingredient needed. We like to use lamb neck fillets
as they’re easy to cut into cubes. This joint of cooking lamb is suitable for
kebab quick cooking time and is reasonably priced.
You can use other cuts of lamb; lamb loin or leg steak is my second preferred
choice but a little pricier.
My last choice would be a boneless leg of lamb, lamb shoulder or lamb shank;
butchers also sell diced lamb for extra ease.
The reason I list these as my last choice is that although they cut into nice
pieces of lamb. They will require a longer marinating time to break down the
tougher fibres to be suitable for this recipe.
The key to a good shish kebab is in the marinade you put on the lamb pieces.
OLIVE OIL
Olive oil adds a great taste to your marinade. Sunflower oil or vegetable oil
can be used if preferred.
GARLIC
For this kebab recipe, we used fresh crushed garlic, though you could also use
garlic puree for ease.
TOMATO PUREE
We find sun-dried tomato puree has a lovely strong, rich taste. You can also use
double-concentrated tomato puree, but add a little more!
LEMON JUICE
Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a great zing to the marinade and helps break
down the meat. You can also use lime juice if you prefer.
SPICES
To flavour our lamb shish kebabs and we based our great recipe on an authentic
Turkish recipe.
We have used cayenne pepper, paprika, ground coriander and cumin. You could also
use chilli powder or any other spices you prefer to suit your own taste.
OPTIONAL
You can add some fresh herbs after cooking. Fresh coriander or fresh parsley
both work well. We would suggest chopping it finely and sprinkling it over once
its lamb is cooked to your desired doneness.
You can also add some vegetables, such as bell peppers or onions to the
marinated lamb shish kebab skewers.
EQUIPMENT 🔪
The equipment needed for shish kebabs is as follows;
SKEWERS
Whether you choose metal or wooden skewers for your lamb shish kebab, proper
preparation is essential.
If using wooden skewers, ensure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes
before use to help prevent burning.
Metal skewers are a great choice as they provide even heating through the
marinated meat. Plus, they're reusable!
LARGE ZIPLOCK BAG
We prefer to marinate diced lamb inside a large ziplock bag. A large bowl will
work instead; just make sure to cover it during marination time.
TRAY
If you choose to oven grill, you will need a baking tray large enough to hold
your skewered kebabs. If you plan to grill meat on bbq they can go directly on
the grill rack.
INSTRUCTIONS 🥙
Now we show you how to make this takeaway lamb shish kebabs recipe.
Click here to jump to the printable recipe card with step by step pictures
Start by placing your olive oil, cumin, garlic, sundried tomatoes, paprika,
ground coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice into a large ziplock bag. This
will be your lamb shish kebabs marinade.
Chop your meat into cubes, and add your lamb pieces to the bag. Rub this in
until your lamb is completely covered.
Place your bag in the fridge to marinate the lamb.
MARINATE TIME ⏲
Marinating meat overnight is an underrated but invaluable cooking trick that can
help take its flavours and meat tenderness to the next level. It allows for
ingredients like spices and herbs to fully penetrate the meat.
Not only does marinating meat add an extra punch of flavour, it breaks down some
of the tougher fibres in the meat, which makes it more tender after it has been
cooked.
Ensure your lamb has sufficient time to marinate- at least 2 hours for quick
cooking cuts like lamb neck fillet, rump, and leg steak. For tougher lamb cuts,
marinate in the refrigerator overnight. You'll be surprised by the incredible
difference this seemingly simple step can make in transforming your dish!
THREAD KEBABS
Now the meat has marinated it is time to thread the diced meat. It is best to
use metal sticks as the BBQ will heat the metal to cook inside as well as out at
the same time. They are also reusable.
Wooden skewers will work if you prefer. If using wooden sticks make sure to soak
them to prevent burning.
COOKING TIME ⏱
The cooking time for lamb kebabs is 10-20 minutes, depending on the cooking
method and your desired doneness.
BBQ / GRILL
Our favourite way is on a charcoal or gas BBQ grill on a nice summer evening!
The following tips are for best results when BBQing lamb kebabs.
Remove meat from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking for even cooking
throughout.
If cooking on coals, wait 30 minutes after lighting to allow the coals to turn
white and the flames to calm down. Ensure the grill plate is hot and oil it
before placing the meat on it to prevent it sticking.
Check out this article for more BBQing info from Webber
For tougher cuts of lamb such as neck fillet, shank or leg of lamb, it's best to
BBQ them until they are medium-well done. This takes around 6 minutes on each
side.
However, if you opt for more delicate types like tenderloin or leg steak cuts
then you can cook them in less time and get a scrumptious and juicy medium-rare
dish!
OVEN
Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C fan /200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Oiling the
baking tray or using foil will keep your lamb from sticking. Now you're ready to
pop it in for 15 minutes - no need to turn it over!
To ensure that your meat is cooked through, cut into pieces of lamb and check if
it's done according to preference. If not, continue cooking until the desired
doneness is achieved.
You can also add wedges of onion, cherry tomatoes or chopped-up chunks of
red/green/yellow pepper to make it serve more.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS 🥗
The best thing to serve lamb shish kebab with is a warm pitta and a salad
consisting of shredded lettuce, red cabbage, cucumber, onion, and tomato.
Check our recipe for making the best red cabbage salad, similar to what they
serve in kebab shops.
Most importantly, don't forget to make up a fresh batch of our kebab shop chilli
sauce and or garlic mayo sauce.
Alternatively, serve with salad in a wrap instead of Pitta, or on a bed of plain
rice.
Complement your lamb shish kebabs with some grilled vegetables. Our favourites
include onions, peppers and cherry tomatoes - so why not try them together for a
delicious meal?
This will make enough for 2 very large kebab skewers.
However, if you wanted, you can adjust to 3 medium or 4 small kebabs.

GAS BBQ GRILL - HIGH HEAT
* Preheat gas BBQ grill for 5 minutes, oil the grill plate before placing the
kebabs on.

lamb shish kebabs.
STORAGE ADVICE 🧊
These can be stored in the fridge inside an airtight container for 48 hours.
Ensure they are heated thoroughly before serving.
You can also freeze the marinated lamb inside a ziplock bag before cooking for
up to three months. Allow it to defrost in the fridge overnight before cooking.
FAQS ❔
What cut of meat to use for lamb kebab?
We use lamb neck fillet for our shish kebabs; it is reasonably priced and easy
to cut, into cubes. Alternatively, lamb loin or lamb leg steak are lovely tender
joints which are easy to cut. Equally as good to use for kebabs is boneless lamb
leg, shank or boneless lamb shoulder. Or buy meat on the bone and cut it off
yourself.
What is the marinade used for takeaway lamb shish kebabs?
Your local kebab shop will have their own unique marinade, ours consists of oil,
garlic, tomato puree, cayenne pepper, paprika, ground coriander, cumin and lemon
juice.
Should I use metal or wooden skewers?
Metal skewers are a great choice when it comes to preparing delicious lamb shish
kebabs. They provide an even heating that helps the marinade and spices fully
penetrate the meat for maximum flavour and tenderness.
As with all our skewered meat recipes we suggest if using wooden skewers it is
best to soak them in water first to prevent them from burning.
How long to marinate lamb meat for shish kebab?
It is best to marinate lamb meat for kebabs ahead of time.
Leave to tenderise the meat and seep up the flavours in the fridge for as long
as possible. Preferably overnight. However, if not planned ahead you can use
tender cuts of lamb such as lamb tenderloin or leg steaks and marinade for 2
hours.
How long does it take to cook lamb shish kebabs on a BBQ?
For lamb shank/ shoulder ot leg of lamb meat cooked on bbq it is best to cook
until the lamb is medium to well done, about 6 minutes on each side.
If using tender meat such as tenderloin or lamb leg steaks you can cook for less
time and have beautiful medium-rare meat.

I'm usually an awful cook but I made these for tea and they were absolutely

Hi I noticed there’s no salt in this? I made it as written and it lacked
flavor because of this. How much salt would it call for ? Thanks

Hi Morena
Thanks for the question.
Adding salt comes down to personal preference, we didn't add salt as the
purees, we had used had salt in them already.
If you like it salty, add as much as you like to your kebab.
You can always add salt to the finished dish as well
Hope this helps
Thanks Kay 🙂

Your recipe for 'Takeaway Lamb Shish Kebab' is so simple and yet utterly
amazing! I cooked them in the oven and finished them on a griddle, served
with your salad of red cabbage, iceburg lettuce, onion, tomato and cucumber
and topped off with a really nice minted yogurt sauce. The meat was tender,
juicy and full of flavour. This is not only the best recipe that I have
used for shish it beats the takeaway hands down. Thank you.

While glad to have moved out of London - one thing my husband really misses
from our time there are the amazing kebabs - I don’t eat meat so they were
a useful way for me to treat him to his favourite, lamb, when on my way
home from work. We celebrated his 50th birthday this week, not in a lux
hotel in the Middle East as we were hoping, but at home during
lockdown...so... I found your takeaway lamb kebab, kebab shop chilli sauce
and garlic mayo recipes and replicated the kebab shop experience at home
for his birthday. One VERY HAPPY husband - oh and, the sauce and mayo were
just as good in my falafel wrap as on his lamb kebab 🙂 thank you SO
MUCH!!!

We love lamb and like having it more often throughout the year, not just at
Easter. We have a small roast in the freezer and these kebobs would be
perfect. We're having the family over next week and I know they'd enjoy
having this for our gathering. Great sounding recipe - I especially like
the flavors in the marinade.
