Juicy Lamb Kebab Recipe

This is boneless leg of lamb cut into 1.5 inch chunks. Yellow onion cut up and a few garlic cloves peeled. For the spices, salt, red chili powder, ground cumin and garam masala. Fresh lemon and oil. That’s all you need to make these simple skewers. To a food processor, add the onion and garlic. Juice the lemon, add that to the onion and garlic. Process until fine. Put down a clean kitchen cloth and place the processed mixture on the cloth. Wring out the juice into a bowl. Pour the juice over the lamb, add vegetable oil, the dry spices and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Take the meat out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking so it’s not icy cold. I’m using steel skewers, now if you’re using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in warm water for at least 30 minutes so they’re not dry, soaking for 2 hours is better. Thread the meat on each skewer leaving ½ inch space between each piece of meat. I’m saving some of the meat so I can show you how to cook it in a pan on the stove. I don’t know why but every time I try to grill, it’s windy. But at least it wasn’t raining so I’m heating up this Weber kettle grill. If you want to see how to assemble and use this grill, I’ve done 2 videos on my other channel, bestkitchenreviews. While gas grills are more convenient, you can’t beat the taste of a charcoal grill. The coals are hot, I’ll cover the grill and let it get really hot. My grill is ready, I’ve put the grate on and cleaned it. Put the skewers on the grate directly over the coals. Baste with a little oil. And Grill on high heat for 5 to 7 minutes for medium rare to medium. Turn them halfway through cooking and baste with oil again. The lamb is boneless and cooks very quickly so watch them and don’t overcook. If you’re not sure when they’re done, use a meat thermometer. Take the skewers off the grill, cover lightly and let the meat rest for five minutes before removing from the skewers and serving. To make the meat in a pan, heat up a heavy bottomed pan like this cast iron. Put a little oil in and when it’s very hot, add the lamb pieces. By the time you’ve added all the pieces, it’ll be time to start turning them. Because the pan is so hot, there’ll be a nice crust on the lamb. Do leave space between the pieces and don’t overcrowd the pan, otherwise they’ll steam instead of sear. Make sure to turn on a vent or open a window. These cook very quickly, 5 to 7 minutes. Again, use a thermometer if you’re not sure when they’re done. They’re so juicy and taste just as good as the grilled meat. You can make these whether you have a grill or not.

I used my own harissa and el ras hanout blend, I think marinating with the onion, oil and Lemmon for acid made a difference. I put them under the broiler with a skewer of onion and peppers. Meat was juicy and tender. I’ll keep this marinade and cooking method. Thanks…

You need red wine vinegar little bit of lemon and Italian seasoning they're called speedy's in New York state

Is this two different ways of cooking or fist charcoal and then stove the same meat?

[Fred-myer]

Would the same marinade work for lamb chops or should I use extra?
