Lamb Kebabs





Yields
15 Servings

Burmese-born chef Saw Naing puts his own spin on simple lamb skewers by mixing in yogurt. Make-ahead tip: You can bake the skewers in a 350°F oven until just cooked, then finish on the grill.

Lamb Kebabs




Thomas J. Story
 1 lb ground lamb
 4 cloves garlic
 5 tbsp yogurt
 1 cup minced shallots
 1 ½ tbsp minced fresh mint
 1 tsp ground cumin
 1 tbsp tandoori masala
 ½ tsp ground cloves
 1 tsp turmeric
 2 ½ tsp salt
1

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients by hand until thoroughly combined. Mold the meat into 1-inch balls on the skewers. You’ll be able to fit about two per skewer.

Cook over an open flame (a binchotan grill works well) for about 2 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through, rotating the skewers to evenly brown the meat.
