Delight in these zesty grilled lamb skewers, marinated with aromatic herbs and spices, and paired with fresh fruits and vegetables for a vibrant and flavorful meal.
Ingredients
1 kg lamb
2 tablespoons mustard
2 tablespoons vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon sage
3 cloves garlic
1 cup fresh fruit (e.g., pineapple, cherries)
1 cup colorful vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini)
2 tablespoons butter
Method
Start by placing the cubed lamb into a spacious mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, sage, and minced garlic until well combined. Pour this marinade over the lamb, ensuring every piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight to infuse the flavors.
When ready to grill, preheat your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat, perfect for direct grilling.
Skewer the marinated lamb alternating with vibrant chunks of fresh fruits and vegetables, using either stainless steel or bamboo skewers. Reserve some juice from the pineapple and cherries for later.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter with a few tablespoons of the reserved pineapple and cherry juice to create a flavorful basting sauce.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 12 minutes, turning them occasionally and basting with the butter sauce to amplify the taste.
