Cut the lamb into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, combine honey, olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Add the lamb cubes and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
~15 min - 2
While the lamb marinates, prepare the whipped feta. Crumble the feta cheese into a food processor. Add Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and the garlic clove. Blend until smooth and creamy. Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and stir them into the whipped feta.
~5 min - 3
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each cube to ensure even cooking.
~5 min - 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the lamb skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness and slightly charred.
~10 min - 5
Transfer the grilled lamb skewers to a serving platter. Serve immediately with the whipped feta dip on the side.
Tips
- For extra flavor, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent burning on the grill.
- The whipped feta dip can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving for best texture.
