Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup olive oil
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
6 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
4 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 pounds well-trimmed boneless leg of lamb, cut into 2-inch cubes
16 12-inch-long metal skewers
32 whole dried apricots (preferably Mediterranean), soaked in boiling water 5 minutes, drained
4 red onions, each cut into 8 chunks
Golden Couscous

Steps:

  • Whisk first 9 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Transfer 1/2 cup marinade to small bowl; cover, chill, and reserve as basting sauce. Add lamb to remaining marinade in medium bowl; toss to coat. Marinate 2 hours at room temperature or cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Remove lamb from marinade. Thread lamb cubes onto 8 skewers, dividing equally. Thread apricots and onion chunks alternately on remaining 8 skewers. Brush all skewers with some of reserved 1/2 cup marinade. Sprinkle onion-apricot skewers with salt and pepper. Grill onion-apricot skewers until onions soften and begin to brown, occasionally turning and basting with marinade and moving skewers to cooler part of barbecue if necessary to keep apricots from burning, about 10 minutes. Grill lamb to desired doneness, turning occasionally, about 8 minutes for medium-rare.
  • Mound Golden Couscous on platter. Top with skewers and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb: The quality of the lamb will greatly impact the flavor of your kabobs, so it's important to choose a good cut. Look for lamb that is fresh, well-marbled, and has a bright red color.
  • Don't overcook the lamb: Lamb is best cooked to medium-rare or medium, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked lamb will be tough and dry.
  • Use a variety of spices: Moroccan cuisine is known for its bold and flavorful spices, so don't be afraid to experiment. Some common spices used in Moroccan lamb kabobs include cumin, coriander, paprika, and turmeric.
  • Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and oil will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the kabobs over a hot grill: A hot grill will help to sear the outside of the lamb and prevent it from drying out. If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the kabobs in a hot oven.
  • Serve the kabobs with a variety of sides: Moroccan lamb kabobs are often served with couscous, rice, or bread. They can also be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tzatziki or hummus.

Conclusion:

Moroccan lamb kabobs are a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your kabobs are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
