Arrosticini Abruzzesi are part of the fabric of the region of Abruzzo. It’s quite simply diced lamb shoulder on skewers, seasoned with salt and grilled. I also like the addition of a little dried oregano. Serve with a cucumber and yoghurt salad and some grilled or flat bread.

*Be sure to soak your wooden skewers overnight, I use 16cm wooden skewers.

Ingredients

  • Half a kilo of lamb shoulder or leg, cut into two cm dice

  • 1 lemon cut into six

  • Salt

  • Half a tablespoon dried oregano

Method

  • Skewer five or six pieces of lamb onto the top of each skewer, making sure they’re nice and tight and close to each other. Rub the oregano onto the lamb now if using.

  • Preheat your char grill, BBQ, griddle pan or big fry pan to high, the meat is small and will cook quickly, so you want it to be hot, you also want to get some nice colour.

  • Arrange the skewers in a single layer and cook for one and a half to two minutes on the first side then about a minute on the other sides. Your lamb should be cooked through and well coloured, but still juicy.

  • Arrange on a platter, season and squeeze some lemon if you like.
