Marinated Lamb Shawarma Skewers
Ingredients
- 500g diced lamb (shoulder or leg)
- 1 bell pepper rough chopped
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp finely grated garlic
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp all spice
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- A squeeze of lemon
- 1/2 tsp lemon rind finely grated
- 1 tsp sea salt
Preparation
Put all the ingredients except the lamb in a mixing bowl and stir well to combine. Then add the lamb and mix until it’s well coated all over. Cover and refrigerate for 6-24 hours.
If using wooden skewers soak in water for 30 minutes before use. Divide the lamb between 3 skewers, thread and tightly pack the lamb pieces and pieces of pepper down the pointed end of the skewer and then barbecue or put under a hot grill. It will take approximately 5 minutes on both sides. Rest for five minutes.
To serve, stand the skewers upright and slice the meat off in a downward motion with a sharp knife on each side.
