More barbecue! The lamb marinated in mint and vinegar brings up the lamb flavor in a unique way that’s hard to describe, but very tasty. Enjoy with a strong red wine such as a bottle of 2003 Cooper-Garrod Cabernet, produced less than 10 miles from here.
As I’ve mentioned before, I love shish kebabs. This is an other tasty variation, with a northern african flavor: Paprika and Cumin. There is something special about these spices, they combine into such an enticing flavor, and create an unforgettable experience.
This recipe would be traditionally served with Harissa, but if you can’t find any, you can make this simple relish with tomatoes, shallots and hot Paprika.
I’ve always found shish kebabs fascinating. Perhaps it is the spear like action of the metal onto the meat, or because they are very easy to cook, as they will cook very evenly if you only cook each side 2 or 3 minutes. Maybe there’s also the mix of the meat with the veggies, or the color combination that’s always very attractive.
