Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

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).

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality lamb meat. Look for lamb that is fresh, tender, and has a good amount of marbling.
  • To make the marinade, use a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices. This will help to tenderize the lamb and give it a delicious flavor.
  • Be sure to marinate the lamb for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • When grilling the lamb, use a medium-high heat. This will help to sear the outside of the meat and keep it juicy on the inside.
  • Cook the lamb for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the lamb rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
