Notes

  • Always buy American lamb. I’ve had lots of lamb and I find American lamb has far more superior taste and quality than imported lamb from anywhere.

  • Don’t over handle the lamb.
  • If you’re making this ahead of time, you can marinate the lamb chunks for up to 3 hours. However if you’re marinating overnight, then skip adding the salt until it’s time to skewer the lamb chunks.
  • You can use lamb shoulder for this recipe, but I prefer leg of lamb for it’s meatier chunkier texture.
  • Don’t over cook your lamb. The meat should still slightly bounce even if you prefer your lamb well done.It’s best to allow the lamb to rest for a minimum of 2 minutes before serving so the juices distribute back smoothly into the meat.
  • A note on the Onion Water used int he marinade. This is made by grating the onions and then squeezing out the water ONLY from the onions.
  • Then use this onion water to flavor the lamb chunks. Don’t add in the grated onions because they burn on the grill and add an off flavor to the lamb!
  • ENJOY lamb whenever you can, it’s delicious, versatile and so good for you!
