SPICY MEXICAN LAMB KEBABS



Spicy Mexican Lamb Kebabs image

Many Mexican recipes start with a paste made with various rehydrated dried chiles, onion and fruit juices. Here a paste is used as a spicy marinade to flavor tender chunks of lamb. The hearty taste of red meat and the spicy heat of chiles creat the perfect marriage. For a smoky heat, try chipotle chiles. For over-the-top heat, use scotch bonnet chiles. For a nice bit of spice without a lot of burn, experiement with jalapeno or serrano chiles. Serve the lamb rolled in warm tortillas accompanied by the traditional beans and rice. Try the paste on chicken, beef or pork, too. Time does not include marinating time.

Yield 6 servings

2 pounds well trimmed boned lamb cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
3 large garlic cloves peeled
1/2 cup sweet bean sauce or hoisin sauce
1/4 cup chinese rice wine
3 tablespoons all purpose soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil

3 large green peppers cored seeded and cut into 2 inch squares
6 10 inch bamboo or metal skewers

Steps:

  • Place a 1 gallon plastic bag inside another and put the lamb cubes inside. Put the bags in a large bowl. To make marinade drop the garlic through the feed tube of a food processor with the metalblade in place and the motor running. Process 10 seconds to mince. Add the remaining ingredients except the scallions and green pepper and process 5 seconds more. Pour the marinade over the lamb cubes and close each bag with a wire twist. Turn bags to coat the lamb. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, turning the bags occasionally. When ready to cook remove the meat from the bags and reserve the marinade. Thread pieces of lamb scallion and green peppers alternately on the skewersand brush with marinade. Prepare a charcoal grill. Arrange the skewers about 3 inches from the heat. Cook turning several times and basting with marinade until the is medium rare about 10 minutes. Remove the skewers and arrange the meat and vegetables on a warm serving dish.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb: For the best flavor and texture, choose a cut of lamb that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat. The fat will render down during cooking and help keep the kebabs moist and flavorful.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables will give your kebabs the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of different marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs is always a good choice.
  • Don't overcook the lamb: Lamb is a relatively tender meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry. Cook the kebabs over medium-high heat until they are cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.

Conclusion:

Spicy lamb kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a flavorful marinade, tender lamb, and a variety of fresh vegetables, these kebabs are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So fire up the grill and give this recipe a try!
