With only a few minutes of prep you can whip up these delicious lamb steaks marinated in yogurt and spices for your summer barbecue, leaving you more time to enjoy the sunshine.

When it comes to barbecues I’ve always tended to go for the slightly boring option of burgers and sausages in buns, but recently I’ve been branching out adding all sorts of other meats and different flavours onto the grill. It’s been a bit of a revelation, as many of them are healthier and far more full of flavour.

The reason I’ve been so unadventurous in the past is that when the sun is shining I want to be outside enjoying it, not stuck in the kitchen prepping barbecue food. I’d wrongly assumed that if food needed to be chopped, marinated or threaded onto skewers then it would mean less time in the garden. However, with the right recipe (like this one) it’s minimal effort and what little prep there is can be done in advance.

Not only do these kebabs need very little prep, they’re also very quick to cook which means more time enjoying the food, soaking up the sun, or having a water fight with the boys, which is definitely a good thing.

These lamb tikka kebabs are made from lamb steaks marinated in spices and yogurt. I’ve then served them in a homemade naan pitta bread (it tastes like a naan but it has the convenient little pocket of a pitta) with fresh spinach leaves, barbecued peppers and onions and a little more yogurt. The flavours are subtle but I think they taste delicious.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 lamb steaks - about 450g
  • 1 inch cube fresh ginger
  • ½ fresh green chilli - see note 1
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • ½ lime - zest only
  • ½ tsp hot chilli powder
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp fenugreek
  • 4 tbsp natural yogurt
  • Salt
  • 4 metal or wooden skewers - see note 2

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Finely grate the ginger (1" cube), garlic (4 cloves) and lime zest (½ a lime). Finely chop the green chilli (½ chilli) and put it into a medium-sized bowl.
  • Add the other marinade ingredients (½ tsp hot chilli powder, 2 tsp ground coriander, 2 tsp ground cumin, ½ tsp fenugreek, 4 tbsp natural yogurt, salt) and mix everything together until everything is combined.
  • Trim off any excess fat from the lamb steaks and chop them into bite-sized cubes and add to the bowl. Mix together until the lamb is coated in the yogurt marinade.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about an hour.
  • Once the lamb has marinated, thread it onto the skewers.
  • Cook on a hot BBQ, in a pan, or under a grill for a couple of minutes on each side (for medium lamb, leave for 3 minutes on each side for well done).
  • Serve - Mine are served in homemade naan pittas with fresh spinach leaves, barbecued peppers and onions and drizzled with a little extra yogurt.

NOTES

Note 1 - use more or less chilli depending on how hot you want your kebabs, if you prefer them hotter then switch the green chilli for a red one.
Note 2 - If you're using wooden skewers soak them in water for a few minutes before threading on the meat to stop them burning when you cook the kebabs.

    I’ve definitely moved away from the standard burger-banger food usually the mainstay at BBQs. There is so much more out there! These kebabs look and sound delicious and with the extra spiciness, they would definitely be a hit in my house! xx
