Method
- 1 Cut the lamb into 3 cm cubes, reserving the fat to skewer alternately.
- 2 Grate the onion, squeeze out the juice, and discard the pulp, using only the onion juice for marinating.
- 3 Use only the onion juice, not the onion pulp; the pulp burns black on the grill and becomes bitter.
- 4 Marinate the lamb with onion juice, olive oil, and pepper for 12 hours without adding salt.
- 5 Sprinkle salt just before grilling; salting too early will cause the meat to release water and dry out during grilling.
- 6 Skewer the meat with fat, then grill on a hot grill for 10 minutes and serve with grilled bell peppers and tomatoes.
