Grilled Peach And American Lamb Kebabs Recipes

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.

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.

SPICED GRILLED LAMB WITH PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• If using bamboo skewers, place them in a bowl of water. Prepare the lamb: in a large bowl, combine the pepper, allspice, cumin, coriander, chili, cardamom, ginger, garlic, oil and a generous pinch of salt. Rub the mixture on the lamb and marinate for at least six hours in the refrigerator.
• Make the chutney: place the cinnamon, cardamom and cloves on a square of cheesecloth and tie with kitchen twine. Place the sachet in a 6-quart saucepan with the mustard seeds, pomegranate seeds, ginger, chili, maple syrup, vinegar and orange juice. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the peaches and gently simmer on medium-low heat until the peaches are very tender and the liquid thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 60 to 75 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a heatproof container to cool. Refrigerate.
• Heat a grill or nonstick skillet to high. Place no more than six lamb pieces on a skewer. Season generously with salt. Cook to desired temperature, 3 minutes on each side for medium rare. Take care not to burn the spices. Drizzle with lime juice and serve with chutney.
