Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds boneless lamb leg
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup dried apricots, cut into medium dice
2 tablespoons Maras pepper, or 2 teaspoons other dried chili powder mixed with 1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh mint
Special equipment:
4 metal skewers

Steps:

  • Build a two-level fire in your grill by putting all the coals on one side. When the flames have died down and the coals are medium-hot (you can comfortably hold your hand 6" above the grill for 3-4 seconds), you're ready to cook.
  • Trim the lamb of most of the fat and cut into 32 more or less equal chunks. Combine in a bowl with 1/4 cup olive oil and salt and pepper to taste; toss well to coat.
  • Thread the lamb chunks onto skewers (8 or so per skewer) and place directly over the coals. Cook, turning, until done to your liking, about 8 minutes total for medium-rare.
  • When the lamb is done, slide the chunks off the skewers into a large bowl, then add apricots, Maras pepper, garlic, mint, remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, and more salt and pepper to taste and toss vigorously. Serve warm.

These kebabs were a waste of time. The lamb was tough and the marinade was bland.

The marinade didn't have much flavor. I would add more spices next time.
