Grilled Lamb Kebabs With Turkish Flavours

These grilled Turkish lamb kebabs bring a vibrant Mediterranean flair to your barbecue with a sophisticated balance of savoury meat and sweet dried apricots. By using lean leg of lamb and heart-healthy extra-virgin olive oil, this dish provides a delicious depth of flavour without being overly heavy. The addition of Maras pepper and fresh mint offers a gentle heat and aromatic finish that elevates the succulent grilled meat.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe focuses on high-quality protein and healthy fats, making it an excellent choice for a nutritious dinner. The chunks of lamb are quickly charred to keep them tender and juicy, then tossed with a zesty dressing while warm to allow the flavours to infuse. Serve these colourful skewers with a crisp green salad or roasted courgettes for a complete and wholesome meal.

Ingredients for Grilled Lamb Kebabs With Turkish Flavours

  • 900g boneless lamb leg

  • 120ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • Kosher salt

  • Freshly cracked black pepper

  • 120ml dried apricots, cut into medium dice

  • 2 tablespoons Maras pepper, or 2 teaspoons other dried chilli powder mixed with 1 tablespoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh mint

  • 4 metal skewers

How to make Grilled Lamb Kebabs With Turkish Flavours

Build a two-level fire in your grill by putting all the coals on one side. When the flames have died down and the coals are medium-hot (you can comfortably hold your hand 6" above the grill for 3-4 seconds), you're ready to cook.

Trim the lamb of most of the fat and cut into 32 more or less equal chunks. Combine in a bowl with 60ml olive oil and salt and pepper to taste; toss well to coat.

Thread the lamb chunks onto skewers (8 or so per skewer) and place directly over the coals. Cook, turning, until done to your liking, about 8 minutes total for medium-rare.

When the lamb is done, slide the chunks off the skewers into a large bowl, then add apricots, Maras pepper, garlic, mint, remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, and more salt and pepper to taste and toss vigorously. Serve warm.
