These tamarind-glazed lamb skewers offer a sophisticated balance of tangy, sweet, and savoury notes. The sharp, fruity profile of the tamarind and orange juice glaze perfectly complements the rich flavour of the lamb, while the dried-apricot relish adds a bright, textured finish. Using lean leg of lamb or trimmed shoulder chops ensures the dish remains light, while the aromatic cracked coriander seeds provide a wonderful earthy depth that ties the components together.
As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe focuses on high-quality protein and vibrant aromatics rather than heavy fats. It is a fantastic choice for healthy outdoor entertaining or a light weekend dinner. The skewers and relish can be prepared in advance, making it an effortless yet impressive meal to serve with a fresh green salad or a side of whole-grain couscous.
