Grilled Lamb Kebabs With Pistachio-Mint Salsa
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 10 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless leg of lamb (sometimes sold as stew meat), any fat trimmed and meat cut into 2-in. pieces
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1/3 cup plain kefir* or Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup shelled, toasted pistachios
- 2 cans (15 oz. each) cannellini or other white bean, rinsed and drained
- Heat a grill to high (450u0b0 to 550u0b0). Combine honey, garlic, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 4 tbsp. oil in a medium bowl. Add lamb and mix to coat well. Thread lamb onto skewers.
- Meanwhile, put mint, parsley, kefir, pistachios, 1/4 tsp. salt, and remaining 6 tbsp. oil in a food processor. Pulse until pistachios are finely chopped, about 1 minute.
- Put cannellini in another medium bowl. Mix in 1/2 cup pistachio mixture and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt.
- Grill lamb until done the way you like, about 10 minutes for medium, turning once. Remove from heat. Spread beans on a platter and arrange lamb skewers on top. Spoon remaining pistachio sauce over lamb.
- *Kefir is a tart beverage made with fermented milk. Look for it near the yogurt.
