Lamb neck is a great cut for skewers, but pieces of leg with a bit of fat on them are also an excellent choice.
Ingredients
-
600g lamb neck or leg, cut into 3cm cubes
-
1 tbsp salt
-
2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
-
juice of ½ lemon
-
lemon wedges, to serve
Native masala (makes extra)
Method
-
Step 1
Put all the ingredients for the native masala in a bowl and combine. Thoroughly mix 2-3 tbsp of the masala in with the lamb, salt, olive oil and lemon juice. Refrigerate overnight.
-
Step 2
Thread the lamb onto metal skewers, then grill on a barbecue, turning them regularly. Baste with extra oil as they cook to keep them moist.
-
Step 3
When cooked, rest the lamb for a few minutes, then drizzle with a little more olive oil and serve with lemon wedges.
Adam’s tip: It can be tempting to make big batches of spice mixes to store, but they lose their aroma over time. Only make as much as you think you’d use in a month.
