Bbq Kiwifruit Lamb Kebabs Recipes

LAMB KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut the lamb into 1 to 1 1/2 -inch cubes or pieces and put them in a large bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade, combine the onion, garlic, spices, parsley, olive oil and lemon juice. Cover and run the processor until everything is finely chopped (you should end up with a thick onion marinade).
• Pour the onion marinade over the lamb and mix well to make sure all the lamb is well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. (If you do not have time, leave the kabobs to marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes).
• Brush the grates of a gas grill (or an indoor griddle) with oil and heat.
• Shake excess marinade off and thread the lamb pieces on some long skewers, allowing a little room between pieces (I used 6 wooden skewers that have been soaked in water).
• Assemble the lamb kabobs in one single layer over your heated grill or griddle. Grill over high heat, turning each kabob one-quarter turn every couple minutes, until the meat is browned all over, anywhere from 7 to 9 minutes, depending on how well you like your lamb cooked (7 minutes on my grill produced medium-rare kabobs).

BARBECUE KIWI LAMB KABOBS

Steps:

• Halve the kiwi and scoop the flesh into a small bowl; mash well with a fork until smooth.
• Add the mashed kiwi and remaining ingredients in a large ziptop bag to marinate. Leave at room temperature for about 20 min, no longer than 1 hour. (Kiwi acts as a tenderizer and if mixed with meat for several hours can make it too soft.).
• Drain the lamb and thread onto skewers that have been soaking in water.
• Grill on high heat for 5-7 min, turning skewers to brown the lamb on all sides. Do not over cook.

BBQ KIWIFRUIT LAMB KEBABS

Steps:

• Scoop flesh from inside the kiwifruit and mash well until smooth.
• Mix with remaining ingredients and cubed lamb.
• Stir, cover and leave at room temperature for about 20 minutes- maximum 1 hour.
• Drain lamb and thread on skewers (Soak bamboo skewers well in water first to reduce risk of charring during cooking).
• Barbecue or grill kebabs on high heat for 5- 7 minutes, turning skewers to brown lamb on all sides.
• Do not overcook.

GRILLED LAMB KEBABS

Steps:

• Puree the onion in a food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl. Whisk the oregano, cumin and 1/2 teaspoon each kosher salt and pepper into the onion juices. Add the lamb; toss. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grates. Remove the lamb from the marinade and thread onto 4 metal skewers. Grill, turning occasionally, about 8 minutes for medium doneness. Sprinkle with flaky salt and serve with tzatziki.

GRILLED LAMB KEBABS WITH SMOKY PEACHES

Steps:

• Build a fire in your grill; when the coals are all covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the grill for 3 to 4 seconds), you are ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover, and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium-high.)
• Mix the yogurt and mint together in a small bowl and set aside.
• Trim the lamb of most but not all fat and cut it into 32 large chunks, about 1 inch square. Add them to a large bowl with the olive oil, curry powder, salt and pepper, and toss well to coat, then thread onto 4 skewers.
• Put the skewers on the grill directly over the coals. Also put the peaches on the grill, cut side down, and cook until just slightly charred and softened, about 6 minutes. Take off the grill and cut into large wedges (about 6 per peach).
• At the same time, cook the lamb, turning to expose all 4 sides to the direct heat of the coals, until done to your liking, about 2 to 3 minutes per side (8 to 12 minutes total) for medium rare. (To check for doneness, cut into one of the chunks and check to see if it is cooked to your liking - remove from the heat when it is slightly less done than you want it to be when you eat it.)
• Put the peaches and lamb into a large bowl. Add the garlic, basil, vinegar and Tabasco, toss to coat, season with more salt and pepper if needed, and serve (over rice if you wish), accompanied by the yogurt and mint.

BARBECUED LAMB KABOBS

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients in shallow dish; add lamb and marinate overnight or at least 5 hours, turning lamb occasionally. , Drain and discard marinade. Thread lamb on skewers; broil or grill on medium-hot grill for 7-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). , For the dipping sauce, in a blender, add all the sauce ingredients. Cover and process on high until smooth. Serve with lamb.

FRUITY LAMB KEBABS WITH CHILLI MAYO

Steps:

• Mix the herbs, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and some seasoning, add the lamb and turn to coat it in the marinade.
• Thread the lamb, peppers and pineapple onto 8 metal skewers, alternating the ingredients as you go. Heat the barbecue or a griddle pan to hot, then cook the skewers for 8-10 mins turning frequently.
• Meanwhile mix the mayo with the chilli, coriander and lime juice. Season and serve with the kebabs.

CHEF JOHN'S KOFTA KEBABS

Steps:

• Cut toasted bread slice into thin strips on a cutting board; cut strips across into a small dice.
• Place onion, parsley, and garlic on top of diced bread on the cutting board; chop until mixture resembles tabbouleh.
• Season beef and lamb with kosher salt, black pepper, allspice, paprika, cardamom, nutmeg, and cayenne. Add onion mixture and water. Mix and mash with your hands until well combined.
• Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
• Remove meat from the refrigerator and roll ¼ of the mixture into a ball using wet hands. Pierce in the middle with a bamboo skewer. Shape meat into a uniform log, about 6 inches long and 2 inches wide.
• Meanwhile, preheat a charcoal grill until coals are very hot.
• Place kebabs on the hot grill until browned and cooked through, about 12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes or so. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a kebab should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Serve.
