Cut the lamb shoulder into 1-inch cubes. (5 minutes)

Thread the marinated lamb onto skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion and cherry tomatoes. (10 minutes)
~10 min - 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. (15 minutes)
~15 min - 6
Grill the skewers for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness and has a nice char. (12 minutes)

Serve the lamb skewers immediately over a generous dollop of whipped feta. (0 minutes)
Tips
- For easier cleanup and more even cooking, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using them.
- You can also bake these skewers on a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes if grilling is not an option.
