Ingredients
- 1 kg lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Skewers for grilling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the lamb cubes, chopped onion, minced garlic, olive oil, yogurt, tomato paste, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the meat is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece. This will allow the meat to cook evenly.
- Grill the lamb kebabs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- While the kebabs are grilling, prepare the spicy tomato sauce by combining tomato paste, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the lamb kebabs are cooked, serve them hot with the spicy tomato sauce on the side.
