Categories     main-dish

Time 46m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Cucumber-Dill Yogurt Dip, recipe follows
1 pound deboned leg of lamb, large dice
2 medium zucchini, large dice
1 medium red onion, large dice
Metal or wooden skewers
2 cups plain whole milk yogurt
1/4 English hothouse cucumber, small dice (about 3/4 cup)
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
1 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Reserve 1 1/2 cups dip as serving sauce. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine remaining 1 cup dip, lamb, zucchini, and onion. Close and shake to thoroughly coat meat and vegetables. Let marinate 30 minutes at room temperature. (Can be stored in refrigerator up to 24 hrs in advance.)
  • When ready to cook, heat a lightly-oiled grill pan over medium heat. Remove lamb and vegetables from marinade, let excess drip off, and thread on skewers. Place skewers in pan and cook, turning to cook all sides, until lamb is medium-rare and vegetables are cooked through, about 6 minutes total. (You may have to do this in batches.)
  • Serve immediately over rice or with flatbread and pass reserved sauce on side.
  • Serving Suggestion: Steamed rice, rice pilaf, or pita bread.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt, cucumber, dill, coriander, red pepper flakes, vinegar, and salt until evenly combined. Season well with freshly ground black pepper, taste, and adjust seasoning, as needed. Serve with an assortment of vegetables for dipping.

GRILLED LAMB KEBABS WITH CORIANDER AND CUMIN



Grilled Lamb Kebabs with Coriander and Cumin image

Yield 2 Servings; Can Be Doubled

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 large garlic clove, minced
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 to 1 1/2 pounds lamb shoulder arm (round-bone) chops, trimmed boned, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 bamboo skewers, soaked in water 10 minutes

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Whisk first 7 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Add lamb; toss to coat evenly. Let stand 5 minutes. Thread lamb on skewers, leaving 1/2-inch space between each piece.
  • Grill or broil lamb until crusty brown outside but still pink inside, turning occasionally, about 8 minutes. Arrange skewers on plates and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality lamb that has been freshly ground. Avoid using pre-packaged or frozen lamb, as it will not be as tender or flavorful.
  • Use a combination of lamb shoulder and lamb leg for the best texture. The shoulder is more flavorful, while the leg is leaner and more tender.
  • Make sure the lamb is well-seasoned before grilling. A good blend of spices for lamb includes coriander, cumin, paprika, and garlic.
  • Do not overcook the lamb. The ideal internal temperature for lamb is 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Serve the lamb kebabs with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tzatziki sauce, hummus, or a spicy yogurt sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled lamb kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. By following these tips, you can ensure that your lamb kebabs are flavorful, tender, and perfectly cooked.
