Today’s Recipe: Exotic Spiced Lamb Skewers

Welcome, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe that holds a special place in my heart — Exotic Spiced Lamb Skewers. As we transition into the autumn season, I find myself craving warm, bold flavors that remind me of cozy evenings spent by the fire. This dish is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and succulent meat that will transport your taste buds to a whole new world.

Ingredients:

  • lamb cubes (500g)
  • yogurt (150g)
  • lemon juice (30ml)
  • ground cumin (10g)
  • ground coriander (10g)
  • paprika (5g)
  • cinnamon (3g)
  • garlic cloves, minced
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • olive oil (30ml)

Kitchen Tools:

  • skewers
  • mixing bowl
  • grill

To start, marinate the lamb cubes in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, ground cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Let the meat soak up the flavors for at least an hour in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, soak the skewers in water to prevent them from burning on the grill later.

Once the lamb is well-marinated, thread the cubes onto the skewers, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

As the skewers cook, baste them with a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. This will add a beautiful glaze and extra flavor to the meat. Once the lamb is cooked to perfection, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

The final dish weighs approximately 700g and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 175g, with an estimated calorie count of 300 per portion.

Here’s a unique tip for this recipe: sprinkle some sumac over the skewers before serving. This Middle Eastern spice adds a tangy, citrusy flavor that will elevate the dish and surprise your guests.

I hope you give these Exotic Spiced Lamb Skewers a try and enjoy the warm, bold flavors they bring to your table. Feel free to customize the spices to suit your taste and make this recipe your own!
