🌍 Origin & History
Lamb on the grill connects directly to Mediterranean and Middle Eastern traditions where skewered meats have been cooked over open fires for millennia. In Greece, lamb chops are simply seasoned with oregano, lemon, and olive oil before hitting the coals. In Turkey, lamb kebabs are a national dish. The rich, gamey flavor of lamb stands up to bold spices and needs no sugar to be magnificent.
