Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil

Juice and grated zest of 1 lemon
1 1/2 pounds lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
Coarse salt
1 1/2 cups couscous
1/4 cup whole milk yogurt

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my lamb kebabs turned out tough. I'll have to try again.

The couscous was a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These lamb kebabs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try marinating the meat for longer next time.

These lamb kebabs are a great way to enjoy a healthy and flavorful meal. The lamb is lean and the couscous is a good source of fiber.
