Dried herbs are more affordable and have a longer shelf life.

Marinate the meat in a mixture of vegetable oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and paprika for at least 2 hours.

Prepare skewers by soaking wooden ones in water to prevent burning.

Thread the marinated meat onto the skewers, alternating with onion and bell pepper pieces.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked through.

Check the doneness by cutting into the meat; it should be juicy and no longer pink.

Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve with fresh herbs and lemon wedges on the side.
