Lamb shish kebab

lamb

olive oil

lemon juice

tbsp plain yogurt (eg Greek style yogurt)

tbsp crushed garlic

tsp cumin

paprika

tsp sumac ((see notes))

oregano

Dice the lamb into roughly bite-sized pieces, removing large pieces of fat and sinew as you go but don&#039;t over-trim - you want some fat left on to help add flavor as it cooks.

Place the lamb in a freezer bag or dish along with the rest of the ingredients - oil, lemon, yogurt, cumin, paprika, sumac and oregano. Mix all together well then seal or cover and refrigerate. Leave to marinate for at least two hours but overnight even better.

When ready to cook, warm up the grill/barbecue then thread the meat onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, make sure you soak in water in advance. While not traditional, I sometimes use some chunks of onion every few chunks of meat.

Cook over a hot grill a few minutes each side (exact time depends on grill heat and thickness of meat) until meat is just cooked through. Serve with eg bread and salads.

Rosemary & anchovy lamb steaks

lemons

anchovy fillets, roughly chopped

rosemary

lamb leg steaks,

lemon

Put the lemon zest, anchovies, rosemary and the oil in a food processor, then blend to a rough paste. Put the lamb in a large food bag or bowl, then pour over the marinade, massaging it into the meat. Marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hr, preferably overnight.

Heat the barbecue, then cook the lamb for 4-5 mins each side (depending on the thickness of the lamb and how you like it cooked) until nicely browned on the outside. Transfer to a board, cover with foil and leave to rest for 10 mins. Serve sprinkled with rosemary sprigs, and lemon wedges for squeezing over.
