CUMIN-CHILE LAMB KEBABS WITH GARLIC YOGURT
Steps:
- Make the garlic yogurt:
- Stir garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice into yogurt in a small bowl to combine; season with salt and pepper.
- Make the lamb kebabs:
- Coarsely grind cumin seeds, peppercorns, caraway seeds, red pepper flakes, and sugar in spice mill or with mortar and pestle until only a few whole spices remain.
- Prepare a grill for medium-high, indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off). Oil grates. Thread lamb onto 6-8 skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece of meat. Season with salt, then sprinkle generously with spice blend, pressing it onto the meat with your hands to help it adhere if needed.
- Grill lamb over direct heat, turning every minute or so, until browned and beginning to char in spots, about 4 minutes. Move to cooler side of grill and continue to grill until lamb is cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes longer for medium-rare.
- Top garlic yogurt with cracked black pepper and a little lemon zest. Serve alongside lamb.
- Do Ahead
- Yogurt can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Spice blend can be made 1 month ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
