directions

  • Prep time does not include marinating time.
  • Chop lamb into about 1 inch cubes, combine paste, yogurt and lemon juice, add lamb and marinate several hours or overnight.
  • Either thread lamb on metal skewers or if using wooden skewers make sure they are soaked for 20-30 Min's in water to prevent burning during cooking.
  • Cook lamb on BBQ or grill 4-6 inches from heat until cooked as desired. (approx 5-10 Min's a side, medium rare-medium well).
  • Raita.
  • In a medium size bowl combine yogurt, cucumber, mint and mint sauce mix well and refrigerate until needed.
  • Couscous.
  • If using quick cooking sachets I add 1 teaspoon of chicken stock powder to the water, bring to boil and add the sachets for a couple of minutes. Remove from pan and add couscous to a large bowl and fluff. If using another type of couscous prepare according to packet.
  • Add both peppers, red and green onions, mint and parsley combine well.
  • Combine vinegar, lemon juice and olive oil in screw top jar shake well. Pour over couscous and mix well.
  • To serve place couscous on plate top with kebab and drizzle with raita.
