Moroccan-style lamb kebabs

Ingredients

  • 6 large skewers, preferably metal

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 1/2 tsp bottled chopped garlic, or 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander

  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

  • 500 g boneless lamb, such as shoulder or leg

  • 2 small red onions

  • 1 large orange

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, or cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  • Lightly oil grill and heat barbecue to medium-high. In a large bowl, stir oil with garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, ground coriander and 1/4 to 1/2 tsp (1 to 2 mL) cayenne, depending on how much heat you like. Cut lamb into 1-1/2-inch (3.5-cm) pieces. Add to spice mix and turn to evenly coat.

  • Slice each onion into 6 wedges. Slice unpeeled orange into 12 wedges. Chop mint. Thread meat, onion and orange wedges onto skewers. Place on grill. Barbecue, turning frequently, until meat is lightly charred around edges, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove kebabs to a platter, then sprinkle with mint. Great with couscous or rice.
