1

Prepare the whole goat by cleaning it thoroughly and trimming excess fat.

2

Marinate the goat with olive oil, garlic, onions, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper for several hours.

3

Skewer the marinated goat on large metal skewers, alternating with bell peppers and tomatoes.

4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's well-oiled to prevent sticking.

5

Place the skewers on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the goat is browned and cooked through, which may take about 1.5 to 2 hours.

6

Baste the kebabs with lemon juice and additional marinade every 20 minutes for extra flavor.

7

Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

8

Serve the kebabs with yogurt, fresh herbs, and lemon wedges.
