how long to marinate skewer meat
With the lamb cut into 1-inch cubes, marinate it for at least 2 hours, but no more than 24 hours. The longer you marinate the more tender the meat will become, but after about 24 hours the flavors of the marinade will overpower the meat and the acids will begin to dissolve the meat. Take the meat from the marinade and thread it onto skewers. For Shish Kebabs, I prefer metal skewers.
