Ingredients
For marinade
- ¼ onion
- 1 clove garlic grated or finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger (fresh) grated or finely chopped
- 3 tablespoon apricot jam
- 3 tablespoon wine vinegar (white or red - I used white)
- 1 tablespoon curry powder (eg Madras)
- ½ tablespoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For rest of skewers
- 1 lb lamb leg diced - can also use shoulder
- 16 dried apricots approx
- ½ onion
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion then soften it in a little oil in a small pan until it is becoming translucent but not browning.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook a minute then add the vinegar, jam, curry powder, cumin and salt. Mix well then remove from heat and leave to cool.
- Dice the lamb into relatively large dice (around 1 ½-2 inch/ 4-5cm dice), trimming excess fat or sinew. Mix the cooled marinade through the lamb then cover and leave a few hours or overnight, refrigerated.
- Soak the apricots in hot water to soften for around 15-20 minutes.
- Thread the meat onto skewers along with the soaked dried apricots and chunks of onion, putting one or other between each chunk of meat.
- Cook on a grill/bbq until the meat is cooked through then serve.
