OTHER ITEMS:
- 30 – 40 Bamboo Skewers (soak in water before using) or 10 reusable Stainless Steel Skewers
- 5-7 Disposable Aluminum pans approximately 13” x 11”
1 – 2 DAYS BEFORE COOKING:
Combine all marinade ingredients and chill (approximately 1 hour); Cut lamb into 1” – 2” squares and remove excess fat; Place Lamb cubes in marinade and chill in refrigerator for 1-2 days; Soak bamboo skewers in saltwater 1-2 days before using (keeps skewers from burning while cooling on grill)
COOKING DIRECTIONS:
1) Heat the grill (approx. 15min.) before cooking lamb
2) Skewer 4 – 6 Lamb cubes on each skewer (space cubes approximately 1” apart to help Lamb cook evenly on grill)
3) Rotate Lamb Skewers while cooking (approximately every 10 minutes)
4) Spray or apply oil to grill while cooking to keep lamb from sticking to grill
5) Each skewer cooks in 30 – 40 minutes
6) Heat marinade to rolling boil.
7) Place cooked lamb skewers in aluminum pan(s) and pour heated marinade over skewers to keep lamb warm (can remove lamb from skewers, or serve them on the skewer)
