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.

  • 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.

Tips:

  • To save time, use store-bought yogurt marinade. However, if you have the time, making your own marinade is easy and adds a delicious flavor to the kebabs.
  • If you don't have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers. Just be sure to soak the metal skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
  • If you're using a charcoal grill, be sure to let the coals burn until they are white-hot before grilling the kebabs. This will help to prevent the kebabs from sticking to the grill.
  • If you're using a gas grill, preheat the grill to medium-high heat before grilling the kebabs.
  • Cook the kebabs for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Be sure to turn the kebabs frequently to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the kebabs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
