Categories     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ lb boneless leg of lamb
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 medium yellow onion
5 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon cardamom
1 cup packed fresh parsley
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Juice and zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Cut the lamb into 1 to 1 1/2 -inch cubes or pieces and put them in a large bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade, combine the onion, garlic, spices, parsley, olive oil and lemon juice. Cover and run the processor until everything is finely chopped (you should end up with a thick onion marinade).
  • Pour the onion marinade over the lamb and mix well to make sure all the lamb is well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. (If you do not have time, leave the kabobs to marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes).
  • Brush the grates of a gas grill (or an indoor griddle) with oil and heat.
  • Shake excess marinade off and thread the lamb pieces on some long skewers, allowing a little room between pieces (I used 6 wooden skewers that have been soaked in water).
  • Assemble the lamb kabobs in one single layer over your heated grill or griddle. Grill over high heat, turning each kabob one-quarter turn every couple minutes, until the meat is browned all over, anywhere from 7 to 9 minutes, depending on how well you like your lamb cooked (7 minutes on my grill produced medium-rare kabobs).

MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB KEBAB MARINADE & SAUCE



Mary Had a Little Lamb Kebab Marinade & Sauce image

An unusual sauce for Armenian Shish Kebobs that can be used on other cuts of lamb for the grill. This was given to me years ago by my friend's Armenian father-in-law. (For a spicier marinade/sauce, use red pepper flakes instead of the black pepper.) NOTE: Cooking time does not include marinating time. Also cooking time is estimated, depending on thickness of lamb cubes.)

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h8m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 pounds lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 sweet onion, such as a Walla Walla, cubed
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 orange, zested
3 oranges, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup whole-milk yogurt
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground
1 tablespoon chili powder, toasted
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To prepare the kebabs, skewer the lamb pieces alternating with the onions into 6 large metal skewers. Place the kebabs in a large baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, orange zest and juice, mint, and oil. Pour the marinade over the kebabs and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  • While the lamb is marinating, prepare the yogurt sauce. Whisk together the yogurt, garlic, cumin, and chile powder in a bowl. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
  • To grill the kebabs, oil the grill and prepare a hot fire. If you are using a gas grill, preheat on high. If you are using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are covered with gray ash. The fire is hot when you can hold your hand over the grill for no longer than 5 seconds. Remove the lamb from the marinade and drain very well. Place the skewers on the grill and grill, turning once or twice, for 6 to 8 minutes for medium doneness.
  • Place the skewers on a serving platter, and garnish with mint sprigs. Serve warm, with the sauce on the side.
