• 4 clove garlic
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp coriander
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 0.33 cup pomegranate molasses
• 1 tbsp honey

Cooking instructions

1. Cut the lamb loin into 1.5-inch cubes. Mince the garlic cloves.

3. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated lamb onto the skewers. (about 30 min)

5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the lamb reaches at least 145°F (63°C) in the center. Rest for at least 3 minutes before serving. (about 10 min) — Medium-high heat
6. During the last minute of grilling, brush the skewers generously with the pomegranate glaze. (about 1 min)
7. Transfer the skewers to a platter, rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. (about 5 min)
