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.

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.)
