Catalan Lamb Skewers

cilantro leaves

paprika

salt

cumin

garlic

lime juice

olive oil

leg of lamb

chiles,

red bell pepper, roasted, stemmed, and seeded

sofregit

Kosher salt

plain whole-milk yogurt (not Greek-style)

mint leaves

(5 oz) English cucumber, peeled, any seeds removed, and thinly sliced on the diagonal

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the cilantro, paprika, salt, cumin, garlic, lime juice, and olive oil. Add the lamb and shake to coat. Press the air out of the bag, seal, and toss in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water at least 1 hour before grilling.

Make the lamb skewers

Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add the chiles, remove the pan from the heat, and let stand until the chiles are soft, about 20 minutes.

Transfer the drained chiles to a blender or food processor. Add the roasted red pepper, sofregit, olive oil, lime juice, and cumin and season generously with salt. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and very thick.

Make the pepper sauce

In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, mint, and a generous pinch salt. Add the cucumber and toss to coat. Use immediately or chill for up to 3 hours.

Make the cucumber-yogurt salad

Place a grill pan over medium heat or prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over medium heat.

Remove the lamb from the marinade and thread 4 to 5 pieces on each skewer. Grill the skewers, turning once, until the meat is charred in spots and the desired degree of doneness, about 8 minutes for medium-rare.

Divvy the cucumber yogurt salad among plates and top with the skewers. Drizzle the pepper sauce over the skewers and salad and pass any extra pepper sauce on the side.

Cover everything in your life with this shockingly good sauce. 

So good!!! I put this amazing sauce under wilted spinach and a sauteed fillet of Sol. It was just what I was looking for. 
Bonus- my fiance loved it! I never saw him eat vegetables and fish so fast.

This sauce is the bomb, I've made this recipe a gazillion times for the Medi-Bowl on this website.  I've used leftovers on wraps, over chicken, pita chips. It's ridiculously delicious.

Thankful to you for this update. I always like to read posts that shares useful information.

Excellent taste us in a stir fly with shrimp. Will use in various dishes, sauce is so flexible.

Hi I’m wanting to make this sauce to use with homemade gnocchi. Would that work ? And would cashews instead of almonds be ok?

Thanks and love your recipes

This sauce is an absolute winner. Simple, easy and so versatile. Thank you.

Never tasted anything like this before.  Made it as a dip for focaccia.  Did not have almonds but I did have almond flour which seemed to do the thickening nicely.  Came together very quickly. Impressive.

Delicious! I didn't have roasted peppers in a jar, but has wilted peppers that needed to be used. So I roasted them with onion and some pieces and olive oil in the oven for 25 minutes at 450 degrees.   And then I mostly followed the recipe and it turned our great!
