Cubes of lamb are marinated in lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, honey and fresh mint, threaded onto skewers, and broiled.
 

Ingredients

  • Marinade:
  • 5 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3 pounds lean, boneless lamb, cut into 1" pieces
  • 36 skewers
  • Lemon Feta Dip:
  • 2 (8 ounce) containers feta cheese
  • 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 finely minced jarred pepperoncini
  • 1 Tablespoon pepperoncini juice
 
Method

Whisk together marinade ingredients, add lamb cubes and marinade overnight. Discard marinade and thread marinated lamb on skewers; preheat broiler. Place kabobs on oiled broiler pan and broil about 8 minutes, turning skewers as needed until browned and caramelized. Serve with Lemon Feta Dip: Combine all the dip ingredients in a blender or food processor, puree until smooth. Transfer to a serving dish, cover and refrigerate until serving time.

 

Notes: These hearty bites are nice addition to the appetizer offering of any party. These kabobs can be marinated and skewered up to a day ahead. At party time just pop them under the broiler for a few minutes and they're ready to serve. The dip is a tasty accompaniment that can be made ahead as well.

 

Number of Servings: 36 skewers
