Grilled Tandoori Yogurt Marinated Lamb Shoulder With Grilled Onions And Green Beans Food

GRILLED TANDOORI LAMB CHOPS AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and lightly oil the grates. Mix the tandoori marinade and 1 tablespoon yogurt in a small bowl. Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper. Rub all over with the yogurt mixture. Let sit at room temperature, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1/4 cup yogurt with 1 tablespoon water, the cilantro, grated garlic, lemon juice, 2 pinches of salt and a grind of pepper in a small bowl.
• Toss the green beans, tomatoes, vegetable oil, sliced garlic, cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Spread out the vegetables on a large sheet of heavy-duty foil. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold to seal; fold in the sides to form a packet.
• Place the packet on the grill and cook until the vegetables are lightly charred and the tomatoes start to burst, about 10 minutes. Grill the lamb chops 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium doneness. Divide the lamb and vegetables among plates. Top with cilantro and serve with the yogurt sauce.

GRILLED "TANDOORI" LAMB

Steps:

• Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, paprika, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until combined.
• Toss lamb and salt into marinade; mix until lamb pieces are coated evenly. Cover mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours.
• Skewer lamb pieces so they barely touch. Wipe off excess marinade with a paper towel. Brush with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill skewers on medium heat until lamb springs back to the touch, about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
• Garnish with red onions, lemon wedges, and chopped cilantro as desired.

THE ZAHAV LAMB SHOULDER

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine the salt, sugar, allspice, black peppercorns, fennel seeds, and garlic in 2 quarts water. Bring to a rapid boil, stirring to dissolve the salt. Remove from the heat and allow the brine to cool completely.
• Place the lamb into the cooled brine. (If it's floating or not submerged enough, cover the lamb with a clean cloth that's saturated in the brine.) Cover with lid and refrigerate the lamb shoulder in the brine overnight or up to 48 hours.
• Turn your oven's broiler on. Place a rack on a baking sheet. Drain the lamb and pat dry, wiping off solids from the brine. Put the lamb on the rack and broil until well browned, about 30 minutes.
• Prepare the roasting pan: Drain soaked chickpeas and place in the roasting pan, along with 2 quarts of water and the pomegranate molasses. Remove lamb shoulder from the oven; turn off the broiler and set the oven to 325 degrees F. Lay the lamb shoulder in the roasting pan, skin side up. (The liquid should come about halfway up the shoulder; add water if needed.) Place a sheet of parchment paper over the lamb and cover the pan tightly with several layers of foil. Braise in the oven about 5 hours, basting every hour.
• After 5 hours, remove the foil and parchment from the lamb and baste again. Raise heat to 475 degrees F, and place lamb back in the oven, uncovered, for 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven when the lamb is deeply glazed and the liquid has reduced. Baste again with the juices and garnish with torn parsley and mint. Place in a serving dish, cover with juices and chickpeas, and serve family-style.

GRILLED TANDOORI-STYLE LAMB SKEWERS

Steps:

• Heat the cumin, garam masala and cardamom in a dry pan, over low heat, until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the onion powder and garlic then transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the yogurt, paprika, curry powder, cilantro, salt and pepper.
• Thread 4 cubes of lamb on each skewer, alternating with scallion pieces and leaving about 1/3 of the skewer as a handle. Arrange them in a shallow glass baking dish and pour the yogurt mixture over them, (turn to coat if needed). Allow to marinate for 1 hour to overnight, in the refrigerator. Brush the grill with an oiled paper towel and preheat it to medium-high. Arrange the skewers at angle for nice grill marks and grill 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and garnish with lime wedges and cilantro.
• Serve with basmati rice with cilantro or orzo with spinach and butter and a side of raita (yogurt sauce with vegetables), if desired.
