Ingredients

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 pounds boneless leg of lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes
Mint-Parsley Yogurt Sauce, recipe follows
Special Equipment: 1 package wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Directions

Combine all spices and seasonings in a small bowl. Place lamb cubes in a shallow baking dish or large bowl. Rub spice mixture into lamb with hands. Thread lamb cubes onto skewers, about 3 per skewer.

Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Grill kabobs for 3 minutes per side, or until cooked to desired doneness. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with Mint-Parsley Yogurt Sauce for dipping.

Mint-Parsley Yogurt Sauce:

1 cup plain yogurt (2 percent or whole is best)

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, pressed

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves

2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parlsey leaves

Stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the chopped fresh herbs and gently stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Yield: about 1 1/4 cups

Outstanding flavors - a true winner
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was skeptical once I got the meat coated with the spice mixture, I thought it was going to be overpowering. I even ended... up letting it set and marinate as I had another dish I was working on. This has to be the best lamb I have ever eaten. My son who is not a fan asked if there was more! We did it under the broiler - too cold to grill right now! Read more

This was awesome. Didn't have nutmeg on hand, but it didn't matter. Took 10 minutes to prepare everything... I'll be serving... this at my next get-together. Crowd pleaser!Read more

Fabulous Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these kabobs last night for my boyfriend. We both loved them! I put them on the foreman. Definitely a must try. I... ended up pairing them with a box of sesame/pine nut couscous. Perfect amount for a dinner for two!!! I'm saving this recipe.Read more

Great flavor
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Instead of kabobs, I used the rub on lamb chops that I pan fried and they were a huge hit. I served them as apps for a dinner... party with the bone as a handle. Perfect finger food that really tastes unique.Read more
