ingredients
- 500 g boneless lamb, cut into 4cm cubes
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small tomatoes, halved
- 1⁄2 medium onion
- 2 -3 garlic cloves
- 6 mint leaves, roughly chopped for garnish
directions
- You will need flat metal skewers, or if using wooden skewers then soak them in water for atleast 20 minutes to stop them from burning.
- Place ground coriander, cumin, allspice, cinnamon, lemon juice, oil, tomato, onion and garlic in food processor and pulse to form a thick paste.
- In a bowl, combine the spice paste with the lamb cubes and toss to coat evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours (you may marinate the lamb upto 1 day in advance).
- Pre-heat indoor grill to medium-hot, or for outdoor grills, medium-hot coals.
- Thread the lamb onto the skewers.
- Grill turning every 2 minutes and basting with any remaining marinade- if you like it well browned on the outside but juicy and slightly pink on the inside, grill for 8-10 minutes, for well done add another 2 minutes or so to cooking time.
- Serve hot garnished with roughly chopped mint leaves.

Sadly I need to give these 3 stars.. DH sorted out some lamb from the butchers especially for this and I don't know what went wrong... we just couldn't get it cooked in the middle without it ( eventually) being almost burnt to a crisp on the outside. DH doesn't mind his meat on the rare side so ended up eating all of it while I went vegetarian for the night. Pity because meat is so expensive here in NL. and becuase we both love lamb. The flavour of the small piece I tried I thought was good... DH, liking the texture of his, liked the spices less. Please see my Rating System: sadly this recipe was not a real success for us.... but personal preference is everything and who knows? maybe the butcher just didn't give us a good piece of meat for this after all. I'm still glad to have given it a go. Thanks!

This was an excellent dish, I thought the lemon juice played a strong role in the flavor combination which made it seem like a light meal, which isn't always easy to do when using red meat. The kids weren't raving about it, but they aren't thrilled about meat dishes as a rule. DH and I both loved it. Thanks! Reviewed for PAC Spring 2008.

<p>I search for recipes that carry ingredients I can get hold of locally (or I have stocked in my cupboard!). Recipes I have posted are ALL tried and tested and have been enjoyed by all! So, I hope you and your family will enjoy as well! <br /> <br />My rating system is fairly simple. Since I only pick recipes that I know my family will enjoy (looking at the list of ingredients), it's either 5 or 4 stars, I do not go any lower. I may sometimes do a bit of tweaking but that is only due to my family's tastes. If I do have problems with a recipe or if it didn't turn out the way it should have done, then I just leave a comment without any rating. <br /> <br /><img src=http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u82/aaliyahsmum_album/Untitled-12.jpg alt= /></p>
