December 16, 2015

Kebabs are very popular in the Middle East and Indian Sb continent.This in particular is a Greek inspired recipe using lamb marinated in yogurt.The best way to cook kebabs is on a charcoal BBQ,but an ordinary grill can be used satisfactorily.The results are amazing anyway.

Put the lamb in a large mixing bowl.Add the yogurt,lemon juice and olive oil and season well.Stir to mix,then chill in the refrigerator for several hours,preferably overnight.Stir form time to time to ensure the lamb is evenly coated in the marinade. Thread the lamb onto 4 skewers.Prepare the charcoal BBQ and when hot,lay the rosemary or marjoram sprigs on the grid.(if using the cooker grill,lay the herbs on the grill pan).BBQ or grill the kebabs,according to taste,turning and basting occasionally with any marinade left in the mixing bowl.
