Grilled Lamb Kabobs Food

GRILLED LAMB KABOBS

Steps:

• Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
• Prepare a hot charcoal grill
• Add the garlic, fresh herbs, lemon juice, oil salt and pepper to a 8x8 dish and whisk to combine. Add the lamb chunks and toss to coat completely. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. When the lamb is well marinated, thread the chunks of meat onto the bamboo skewers, brush the lamb skewers with additional olive oil and transfer them to the hot grill when it is ready. Cook for 5 minutes and turn the skewers. Continue to cook and turn every 5 minutes until done to your likeness, about 12-15 minutes for medium-rare.
• Add the garlic to a small food processor and process until finely minced, stop the machine and add the egg yolks, mustard, salt and pepper. Process for 30 seconds. With the motor still running, slowly, add the oil and as the mixture starts thickening, add the oil a little more quickly and continue processing until all the oil is incorporated.

LAMB KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut the lamb into 1 to 1 1/2 -inch cubes or pieces and put them in a large bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade, combine the onion, garlic, spices, parsley, olive oil and lemon juice. Cover and run the processor until everything is finely chopped (you should end up with a thick onion marinade).
• Pour the onion marinade over the lamb and mix well to make sure all the lamb is well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. (If you do not have time, leave the kabobs to marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes).
• Brush the grates of a gas grill (or an indoor griddle) with oil and heat.
• Shake excess marinade off and thread the lamb pieces on some long skewers, allowing a little room between pieces (I used 6 wooden skewers that have been soaked in water).
• Assemble the lamb kabobs in one single layer over your heated grill or griddle. Grill over high heat, turning each kabob one-quarter turn every couple minutes, until the meat is browned all over, anywhere from 7 to 9 minutes, depending on how well you like your lamb cooked (7 minutes on my grill produced medium-rare kabobs).

• Place kabobs on grill rack. Cover and grill kabobs over medium heat 13 to 15 minutes, turning kabobs occasionally to ensure even browning, until lamb is no longer pink in center.
