  • Ingredients

    1 tsp Ground Coriander, organic
    1 tsp Ground Cumin, organic
    ½ tbsp Sweet Paprika, organic
    1 tsp Ground Turmeric, organic
    1kg boned shoulder or leg of lamb
    3 tbsp olive oil
    2 tbsp lemon juice
    1 garlic clove, crushed
    1 tsp harissa paste
    1 small red onion
    1 small lemon
    salt and freshly ground black pepper

    4 x 30cm metal skewers

    Preparation

    Trim any excess fat off the outside of the lamb and then cut it into roughly 5cm chunks. Place it into a bowl with the olive oil, lemon juice, spices, garlic, harissa paste and some seasoning and mix together well. Cover and leave to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours or overnight in the fridge.
    Peel the onion, leaving the root end in tact and then cut it into 8 wedges.
    Thread the lamb, lemon and onion wedges alternately on to the skewers and barbecue over medium-hot coals for about 10-15 minutes, turning now and then, until they are nicely browned on the outside but still pink in the centre. These would be nice served with either a Spicy Couscous or a Tabbouleh Salad.
