Time 8h45m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 pounds top round lamb
2 tablespoons minced garlic (4 to 5 cloves)
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
4 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup mild olive oil
1/2 cup dry red wine
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Kosher salt
4 small red onions
4 pints cherry tomatoes
Wooden skewers
1 cup good chicken stock
1/2 cup good olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the lamb in 1 1/2-inch cubes. You should have about 40 cubes. Combine the garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, red wine, vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl. Add the lamb cubes, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight or for up to 2 days. Toss occasionally.
  • Heat a charcoal grill with coals. Spread the coals in 1 tight layer on the grill.
  • Cut the red onions in quarters and separate each quarter into 3 or 4 sections. Loosely thread 3 or 4 pieces of lamb alternately with sections of onion on skewers. Sprinkle both sides of the lamb with salt and pepper. Next place 4 or 5 cherry tomatoes on skewers, threading them through the stem of the tomato. Rub the tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. First, place the lamb skewers on the hot grill and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning 2 or 3 times, until the lamb is medium rare. Approximately 5 minutes before the lamb is done, place the tomato skewers on the grill, turning once, until seared on the outside but still firm inside.
  • For the sauce, bring the chicken stock, olive oil, and lemon juice to a boil in a medium pot. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until reduced in half. Add the rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Serve the sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: For kabobs, tender cuts like loin chops, rib chops, or leg of lamb are best.
  • Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb helps tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Use a marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices.
  • Skewer the lamb: Use metal or wooden skewers to skewer the lamb. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the lamb over medium heat: Cook the lamb over medium heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare or 160°F for medium.
  • Let the lamb rest: Let the lamb rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Lamb kabobs are a delicious and easy way to enjoy lamb. By following these tips, you can make sure your lamb kabobs are juicy, tender, and flavorful. Serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or pita bread.
