Ingredients
lamb kabobs
- 4½ tbsp olive oil divided
- 2½ tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1½ tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp minced rosemary
- 1 tbsp minced tarragon
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 2½ pounds boneless New Zealand grass-fed lamb shoulder cut into 1 inch cubes
- salt and pepper to taste
mint yogurt sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp chopped mint leaves
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1½ tbsp honey
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Kabobs
- In a mixing bowl combine 3 tablespoons oil, vinegar, mustard, rosemary, tarragon, and garlic cloves and whisk together.
- Add lamb to marinade and toss together until each piece is evenly coated. Refrigerate and marinate for 3 hours.
- Soak 10-12 bamboo skewers in water for about 30 minutes.
- Remove lamb from refrigerator and skewer cubes of lamb onto bamboo skewers until all cubes have been skewered. Season each skewer generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Set a grill or grill pan on medium-high heat and brush the surface with remaining oil. Grill skewers (in batches if needed) for 4 minutes on each side.
- Remove from heat and allow kabobs to rest, about 5 minutes.
Sauce
- Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Season with salt and pepper and stir together.
Serving
- Pile skewers onto a platter and top with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes and cracked black pepper. Serve with dipping sauce.
Notes
- Our top pick, and what we're using in our recipe today, is lamb shoulder. This cut of meat is full of flavor and a good amount of fat. Those characteristics paired with several hours of marinating will result in tender and juicy kabobs every single time!
- Ue lamb shoulder! As we mentioned above, we think it's the best cut for kabobs. Not only will you get delicious results, but it's a fairly inexpensive cut of meat.
- Cut the lamb into equally sized cubes to ensure even cooking.
- Marinate the lamb for at least 3 hours (up to 24 hours) to maximize the absorption of the tasty marinade flavors and as well as to tenderize the meat.
