Rosemary Skewered Lamb Kebabs

This is a perfect dish for Easter!!
Servings: 4 people

Equipment

  • wooden skewers

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs lamb (I used a boneless leg of lamb) cut into 1 inch pieces about 1 kg
  • 2-3 red onions cut into chunks
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary plus extra for garnish/threading - see instruction
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, each and more for after cooking
  • 1 bunch chives 2 packages, optional

Instructions

  • In a large Ziploc bag (or a non-reactive storage dish), combine the ingredients (except for the rosemary you are using for garnish) for the lamb and toss to combine.
  • Seal; refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours.
  • When you are ready to cook, preheat an indoor grill (or the oven to 425 F); alternatively, you can barbecue these outside on a grill.
  • Thread lamb pieces, alternatively with onion, onto skewers (if you find rosemary that has long enough stalk, you can skewer them directly onto the rosemary stalk!!); discard marinade.
  • Grill lamb until lightly charred and cooked to your liking, turning skewers occasionally throughout cooking, about 8 to 10 minutes total (cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your lamb and your desired doneness)
  • Transfer skewers to plate.
  • If you are using wooden skewers, tuck in a sprig of rosemary in the top of each skewer to mimic the look that the meat is skewered directly on the rosemary stalk
