Spicy Ground Lamb Kebabs with Onions and Peppers

photo: Scott Phillips

Servings:4

Reminiscent of the Turkish meatballs called köfte, ground lamb gets wrapped around a skewer (an easy step) and grilled to juicy perfection. Served on flatbread with grilled vegetables and a cool yogurt sauce, it makes a casual but fantastic meal.

Preparation

  • Prepare a medium-high (400°F to 475°F) gas or charcoal grill fire. Have ready four 10- to 12-inch skewers.
  • 在一个中等大小的碗里,用手把mb, sofrito, garlic, oregano, 1-1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper. With damp hands, divide the lamb into four equal portions. Working with one portion at a time and rewetting your hands as necessary to prevent sticking, press the lamb around skewers into sausage shapes about 5 inches long.
  • Brush the onion and pepper on both sides with 2 Tbs. of the oil, and season with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Grill, flipping once, until charred in spots and just tender, 8 to 9 minutes total.
  • Brush the lamb on all sides with the remaining 2 Tbs. oil. Grill, flipping once, until slightly pink in the center (cut into one to check), about 5 minutes. Remove from the grill and tent with foil.
  • Grill the flatbreads, flipping once, until lightly charred, about 1 minute.
  • Remove the skin from the onion. Coarsely chop the onion and pepper, and toss with the cucumber. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the lamb from the skewers and serve on the flatbreads with the vegetables and tzatziki.

Tip

Sofrito, a cooked mixture of aromatic vegetables and seasonings, is used in many Latin American dishes. Though you canmake it yourself, you also can buy it jarred at many supermarkets for a handy weeknight shortcut.

    My family loved this-- the kabobs were juicy and very flavorful. Here in Chicago, we can get sofrito made fresh, right next to the pico de gallo and guacamole in the refrigerated case-- and I had to choose between red and green (no idea, but I chose red). The only problem I had was keeping the kabob on the skewer-- I was using metal skewers, maybe wood would work better. Next time I plan to just grill these as patties. Also the grilled veg made a tasty salad the next day. This recipe is a keeper!
