We don't cook red meat very often. Since lamb is favorite variety of red meat of my husband, I often insist him to buy lamb loin meat for leaner cut - far less calories. Lamb Loin meat is great to add to stews, quickly sear or grill. Since this cut of meat has very less fat, it may not be suitable for curries or briyani but it tastes great when grilled.
Lamb loin skewers don't need more than 4-5 minutes on grill. Watch the skewers as they will turn from medium rare to tough very quickly. Lemon Herb Lamb Skewers

Lemon, rosemary, oregano marinated lamb is inspired from my friend's rosemary-garlic roasted lamb recipe. We enjoyed delicious roasted lamb chops marinated in rosemary and lemon marinade for main course at my friend's dinner party. I was longing for the aroma and taste after coming home. So, yesterday, I used that inspiration to make these quick lamb skewers for two of us.

Let me share my two take away from this recipe - first, lean cut of red meat will let you enjoy scrumptious meat dinner but with far less fat and calories than marbled varieties. Second, lean meats cook very quickly. So these skewers are perfect to serve dinner under 20 minutes.

How good does that sound?

Fewer calories, faster cooking and still enjoying lemon-herb lamb at home. Cannot go better than this!!

You will love the recipe as much as my husband loved the taste and as much as I loved the leaner-quicker aspect.

All-in-all a winner weekday dinner!! Lemon Herb Lamb Skewers
