Ingredients
- 1 tsp ground pepper berry
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ½ onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
- salt, to season
- 800 g boneless lamb leg with fat on, cut into 4-cm cubes
- ¼ cup finely shredded parsley
- lemon wedges, to serve
Bush tomato tahini
- 1 cup thick Greek yoghurt
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground wattle seed
- 1 tsp ground kudjera (bush tomato)
Marinating time: 4 hours
Instructions
- Place the pepper berry, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, onion, garlic and oil in a small food processor and blend into a puree. Season well with salt, then transfer to a large bowl. Add the lamb, stir to coat well, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if time permits.
- Preheat a chargrill pan or barbecue grill to high. Thread the lamb onto metal skewers, alternating fattier pieces of lamb with leaner pieces.
- Cook the lamb skewers for about 8 minutes, turning frequently, drizzling with olive oil and seasoning with a little more salt as you go. Remove from the heat and rest for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, for the bush tomato tahini, combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve the skewers scattered with parsley, drizzled with a little extra olive oil and with the bush tomato tahini on the side.
