Garnishes such as sliced scallions, sesame seeds, or cilantro.
Instructions
Combine all of the above ingredients except the lamb into the sealable bag or bowl. Remove 1/2 cup and refrigerate it in a covered container.
Add the lamb to the large bag and allow the lamb to marinate 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
When you're ready to cook the lamb, discard the marinade and fill each skewer with approximately 6 pieces of the cubed lamb.
To make the glaze, put the reserved marinade in a small saucepan and cook it on low until it's reduced and slightly thick. The glaze will continue to thicken as it cools.
Grill the lamb skewers on medium-high for approximately 4 minutes and then use a spatula to help turn the skewer over to the uncooked side and cook an additional 4 minutes or until the meat is approximately 125°F when tested with an instant-read thermomether.
Serve with a side of the orange glaze or lightly drizzle the meat with the sauce and mix on a serving dish.
Notes
Kabob recipes often include chunks of vegetables interwoven with the meat. We don't do this because lamb is best if it's not overcooked. Since the vegetables take longer to cook, we grilled them separately and started them before our kabobs.
If you use wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20-30 minutes before adding the lamb. That will prevent the skewers from burning.
Use a spatula to turn the lamb kabobs. This will keep the pieces of lamb from turning and allow each side to get that beautiful grilled flavor.
You can make the orange glaze prior to grilling the kabobs.
We drizzled our glaze on after our grilled lamb kabobs were done for two reasons.
We didn't want to contaminate it with the raw meat.
Drizzling the glaze on the lamb after it's removed from the skewer allows the entire piece to be favored with the glaze.
We don't include nutritional information here since the marinade is discarded, the information is incorrect.
