Here are some tips on how to make the classic Arrosticini that is sure to impress family and friends:

• Have a cube box or sharp butcher’s knife with a broad cutting board to make dicing easier.

• Arrosticini is all about the right meat. Lamb's shoulder is perfect because it is tender and has just the right amount of fat to make perfect skewers over coal very easy.

• Layer the lamb meat properly inside the cube box slicer to make lots of skewers in one go. Slice the layers of the box to get the diced lamb meat. It is important to keep the meat intact and big enough so that it will cook evenly and stay on the skewer.

• Make sure that the charcoal is distributed evenly and burning well so that your meat will not cook unevenly.

• Season lightly with salt and pepper, olive oil and traditional Italian herbs. Turn the skewers regularly until they are golden crisp and evenly cooked.

With these simple tips you can even improve on the traditional Abruzzo barbecue by adding ingredients or vegetables. The classic recipe, however, is sure to satisfy.
