• Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Grill kabobs for 3 minutes per side, or until cooked to desired doneness. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with Mint-Parsley Yogurt Sauce for dipping.

LAMB KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut the lamb into 1 to 1 1/2 -inch cubes or pieces and put them in a large bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade, combine the onion, garlic, spices, parsley, olive oil and lemon juice. Cover and run the processor until everything is finely chopped (you should end up with a thick onion marinade).
• Pour the onion marinade over the lamb and mix well to make sure all the lamb is well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. (If you do not have time, leave the kabobs to marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes).
• Brush the grates of a gas grill (or an indoor griddle) with oil and heat.
• Shake excess marinade off and thread the lamb pieces on some long skewers, allowing a little room between pieces (I used 6 wooden skewers that have been soaked in water).
• Assemble the lamb kabobs in one single layer over your heated grill or griddle. Grill over high heat, turning each kabob one-quarter turn every couple minutes, until the meat is browned all over, anywhere from 7 to 9 minutes, depending on how well you like your lamb cooked (7 minutes on my grill produced medium-rare kabobs).

MOROCCAN STYLE LAMB KEBABS

Steps:

• Pre heat barbecue. Trim any excess fat off the outside of the lamb and then cut into 5cm chunks. place in a non metallic bowl with the oil, lemon juice, spices, garlic, harissa and some seasoning and mix well. Cover and leave to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Peel the onion, leaving the root end intact, and then cut into 8 wedges so that the slices of onion stay together at the root of each wedge. Cut the lemon into 8 wedges.
• Thread the lamb chunks and lemon and onion wedges alternately onto four 30cm flat metal skewers, and place over medium hot barbecue, for 10 - 15 minutes. Turn every now and then, until the lamb is nicely browned on the outside, but still pink in the centre. Serve with fresh coriander and roasted pumpkin wedges, if liked.
