Lamb Kebabs with Cumin-Chile Spice and Garlic Yogurt Recipe | Epicurious - 万博官网,万博亚洲正规品牌,manbetx苹果下载

A perfect cube is not essential, but try to get the lamb into roughly the same size pieces so they cook at the same rate.

Ingredients

4 servings

1 garlic clove, grated

1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons cumin seeds

1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns or 1 teaspoon black peppercorns

2 teaspoons caraway seeds

2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon sugar

Vegetable oil (for grill)

1 1/4 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch pieces

Kosher salt, freshly cracked pepper

Finely grated lemon zest (for serving)

A spice mill or a mortar and pestle; 8 (8–12-inch-long) metal skewers

Make the garlic yogurt:
Step 1
Stir garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice into yogurt in a small bowl to combine; season with salt and pepper.
Make the lamb kebabs:
Step 2
Coarsely grind cumin seeds, peppercorns, caraway seeds, red pepper flakes, and sugar in spice mill or with mortar and pestle until only a few whole spices remain.
Step 3
Prepare a grill for medium-high, indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off). Oil grates. Thread lamb onto 6–8 skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece of meat. Season with salt, then sprinkle generously with spice blend, pressing it onto the meat with your hands to help it adhere if needed.
Step 4
Grill lamb over direct heat, turning every minute or so, until browned and beginning to char in spots, about 4 minutes. Move to cooler side of grill and continue to grill until lamb is cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes longer for medium-rare.
Step 5
Top garlic yogurt with cracked black pepper and a little lemon zest. Serve alongside lamb.

Yogurt can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.

These were terrific. I made exactly as described. I used mortar and pestle so spice mix was on course side. My only change in the future will be to lower the cumin. The yogurt sauce is outstanding and a must have for the dish. I also used the szechuan pepper version.

Delicious! I made three different skewers for a dinner party, and this was the favorite. Quite spicy (I used a spicy red chili pepper flake) but you can cool it down with the yoghurt sauce.
