Lamb Kebabs with Mint
- 6 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
- 2 1/2 pounds boneless lamb from the leg, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 34 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
- Oil for brushing over the top
- Combine the yogurt, lemon juice, salt, cayenne, cumin, coriander, onions, and ginger in a blender.
- Blend until you have a smooth paste.
- Put the lamb in a nonreactive bowl and pour the paste from the blender over the top.
- Mix well and prod the lamb cubes with a fork.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight or as long as 24 hours.
- Preheat broiler.
- Push 4 skewers through the centers of the lamb cubes, dividing them up equally.
- Leave the marinade behind.
- Brush with oil and sprinkle mint all over.
- If you plan to broil rather than grill, rest the two ends of each skewer on the rim of a broiling tray (the tray catches the drips and the kebabs stay in suspension) and place the tray about 5 inches from the source of heat.
- Broil 57 minutes on the first side and another 57 minutes on the opposite or until the kebabs are done to your taste.
- Or grill over hot coals, turning once, until brown on all sides.
