Lamb Kebabs with Mint Pesto

These succulent lamb kebabs with mint pesto offer a fresh and vibrant take on a classic barbecue favourite. The tender cubes of boneless leg of lamb are marinated with garlic and toasted coriander seeds, providing a deep, savoury base that pairs perfectly with the charred sweetness of red peppers and red onions. Finished with a zesty mint and coriander pesto, every bite is brightened by citrus and fresh herbs, making it a sophisticated choice for outdoor dining.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe prioritises lean protein and heart-healthy fats from extra-virgin olive oil and pine nuts. By focusing on fresh aromatics rather than sugary glazes, it delivers maximum flavour with a low glycaemic impact. Serve these colourful skewers with a crisp green salad or roasted courgettes for a nutritious, balanced dinner that the whole family will enjoy.

How to make Lamb Kebabs with Mint Pesto

Blend first 7 ingredients in processor to coarse puree. With machine running, gradually pour in 120ml oil; puree until almost smooth. Transfer pesto to bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Mix 1 tablespoon oil, garlic, coarse salt, and coriander in medium bowl. Add lamb; toss to coat. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours.

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Thread lamb on skewers alternately with peppers and onions. Place on baking sheet. Brush with oil; sprinkle with pepper. Grill to desired doneness, turning occasionally, 7 to 9 minutes for medium-rare.

Arrange kebabs on serving platter. Drizzle each kebab very lightly with pesto and serve remaining pesto alongside.
