➊ Prepare the grill for direct grilling and bring it to around 200 °C, soak the wooden skewers in cold water. Cut the meat into 2 x 2 cm cubes and put them on the prepared skewers. Season all over with paprika powder, salt and pepper and finally drizzle with olive oil. Set aside and let it sit for a while.
➋ For the garlic and mint sauce, finely chop the garlic and the leaves of a sprig of mint. Place in a bowl and mix with the yoghurt. Season to taste with salt, pepper and a pinch of paprika powder. Set aside and let it steep. Cut the vegetables into larger pieces, pluck the rosemary needles from the stem and mix everything well.
➌ Grill the meat skewers, turning them regularly, until the desired doneness is reached. At the same time, grill the vegetables with a dash of olive oil on a closed grill plate until al dente.
Arrange the grilled vegetables and meat skewers on a plate and sprinkle with freshly chopped mint leaves. Serve with the garlic-mint sauce.
