Ingredients

4 servings

For the lamb

2 lb boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
Ingredient note
Low Residue diets limit fruit juices with pulp, but juice carries only a trace of the fruit's fiber, and just a small amount of lemon juice is used here, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp lemon zest
Ingredient note
Low residue diets limit citrus peel because it adds fiber and residue. The small amount of lemon zest here contributes very little, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient note
Low residue diets limit seeds and coarse spices. Only a trace of ground ground ginger is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp fine sea salt

For grilling

1 tbsp olive oil, for brushing the grill

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Ingredient note
Low residue diets limit leafy greens and raw herbs. The parsley here is used only as a seasoning (about 1 1/2 teaspoons per serving), so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid fresh parsley, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, rosemary, thyme, turmeric, ginger, and salt until combined.
2
Add the lamb cubes to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours.
