How to Make Lamb Kebabs in an Onion Marinade

Time: 1 hour 20 min.
Complexity: easily
Servings: 4

These lamb kebabs are juicy and delicious, infused with Mediterranean flavor thanks to a marinade of onion juice, dried oregano, and cumin. Marinate the meat for at least an hour, preferably overnight, then thread onto skewers and grill or barbecue until medium-rare, being careful not to dry out the tender lamb. Serve with tzatziki, a refreshing and healthier alternative to traditional ketchup.

3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.

Puree the onion in a food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl. Stir in the onion juice, oregano, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon each of coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the lamb and stir. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Remove the lamb from the marinade and thread the pieces onto 4 metal skewers. Grill, turning occasionally, for about 8 minutes for medium-rare. Sprinkle with flaky salt and serve the lamb kebabs with tzatziki sauce.
