Shashlik Grilled Lamb Kebabs Food

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).

GRILLED LAMB KEBABS

Steps:

• Puree the onion in a food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl. Whisk the oregano, cumin and 1/2 teaspoon each kosher salt and pepper into the onion juices. Add the lamb; toss. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grates. Remove the lamb from the marinade and thread onto 4 metal skewers. Grill, turning occasionally, about 8 minutes for medium doneness. Sprinkle with flaky salt and serve with tzatziki.

GRILLED LAMB SHISH KEBAB (SHASHLIK) - WHOLE30, PALEO

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the onion, vinegar and parsley. Toss to coat and refrigerate up to 4 hours in advance.
• In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight.
• Preheat Traeger grill to 475F.
• Skewer the lamb pieces and discard the onions, they will burn on the grill. Transfer the kebabs to the grill and cook until grill marks form, around 7 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until grill marks form and the thickest part of the meat registers 140F internal for a medium center, around 4 more minutes. If using a gas or charcoal grill, cook the kebabs over direct, medium-high heat.
• Transfer the kebabs to a serving platter and top with the onion garnish.

SHASHLIK (GRILLED LAMB)

Steps:

• Beat the lemon juice with the oil and add the bay leaf.
• Pour the mixture over the meat cubes and marinate for a minimum of three hours at room temperature.
• To serve, heat the broiler or a charcoal grill, drain the marinade from the meat and arrange the cubes of meat on skewers. Broil or grill for about 10 minutes, turning to brown on all sides, until medium rare, and serve with tkemali (plum sauce.)

LAMB SHASHLIKS WITH ROSEMARY & GARLIC

Steps:

• Mix the lamb with the lemon and juice, oil, garlic and rosemary. Season well. Cover with cling film and leave to chill for a few hours or, if possible, overnight.
• Thread the lamb onto large metal or wooden skewers, alternating with the peppers and onions. (If using wooden skewers, soak for 20 mins before using.)
• Get your coals hot, then put the lamb skewers over the heat and cook for about 5 mins until well coloured. Turn over and cook for a further 5-10 mins until cooked to your liking and nicely charred. To test if the lamb is done, put a large skewer into the middle of the meat and press down on the flesh. If the juice that runs from it is bloody, it's not cooked enough. If the juice is pink and watery, the lamb is cooked the way I like it. If the liquid is completely clear, the lamb is well done. Allow the meat to rest for a few mins before serving with flatbreads, yogurt, chilli sauce, and tomato and cucumber.

GRANDPA NICK'S GEORGIA SHASHLIK

Steps:

• Cut lemon in half and juice. Cut 2 rinds into chunks.
• Place lemon juice and rinds into a large glass or ceramic bowl with red wine, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix well. Add lamb and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or up to 18 hours.
• Remove lamb from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Thread lamb on to skewers.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook skewers, turning occasionally, on the preheated grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat reads at least 130 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium, about 15 minutes.
