1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 garlic cloves
1 handful fresh mint leaves
3 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Lamb Skewers:
1 kg lamb rump, trimmed and cut into bite-sized chunks
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
To Serve:
Skillet flatbread
Hummus
Instructions
- Crush coriander, fennel, and cumin seeds in a pestle and mortar until fragrant.
- Add garlic and grind to form a paste. Stir in mint, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Cut lamb into bite-sized chunks, season with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then thread onto skewers.
- Heat grill pan or barbecue over medium-high heat. Cook skewers for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
- Serve hot with mint sauce, flatbread, and hummus.
Notes
Add chili flakes or paprika to lamb seasoning for extra spice.
Swap or mix mint with parsley or cilantro for variation in the sauce.
Serve with roasted vegetables or tabbouleh for a fuller meal.
Mint sauce can be blended instead of crushed for a smoother texture.
Lamb skewers can also be broiled in the oven if a grill isn’t available.
