Soft, Juicy Grilled Lamb Kebabs

An absolutely knockout kebab — exactly what you want! We made these lamb kebabs over an open fire with a young spring lamb, but you can use any meat you like. A good friend from the Caucasus taught me this recipe, and ever since, our whole family has loved it — we cook it every chance we get on trips out to the country. As my Caucasian friend says, good young lamb doesn't really need marinating for kebabs at all… but we'll marinate it anyway, just for the aroma.

  • Take the loin of your lamb and cut it into pieces about 2 inches (5 cm) across. For the Caucasian lamb marinade: in a separate bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of sweet mustard with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of olive (or other vegetable) oil. Squeeze in the juice of the lemon. Then add half a bunch of finely chopped cilantro and one clove of garlic, and season with about half a teaspoon of salt. Pour the marinade over the lamb and let it sit for just half an hour (longer is fine) to tenderize, stirring the meat by hand now and then. To cook: thread the marinated lamb carefully onto skewers and grill over hot coals or on a barbecue until golden brown, brushing occasionally with a mix of water and marinade. Serve with plenty of vegetables, fresh herbs, and a cold beer or a glass of wine. Your fire-grilled lamb kebabs are ready — pour a glass of good red and enjoy!
