British Winter-Spiced Lamb Kebabs on Arteflame Grill

Introduction

These British winter-spiced lamb kebabs are infused with rich, warming spices and grilled to perfection on the Arteflame grill. By searing the lamb on the center grill grate at 1,000°F, we lock in the juices before finishing it on the flat cooktop for a tender, flavorful bite. Grill all your ingredients together for a perfectly balanced dish that's smoky, spiced, and utterly delicious.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs lamb leg or shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp ground allspice
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 bell pepper, cut into chunks
• Metal or soaked wooden skewers

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil onto three paper napkins and place them inside the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the oil-soaked napkins and light the paper.
3. Wait about 20 minutes for the grill to heat up.

Step 2: Marinate the lamb

1. In a bowl, mix melted butter, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, allspice, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, garlic, lemon juice, honey, and rosemary.
2. Add the lamb cubes and toss to coat evenly.
3. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3: Assemble the kebabs

1. Thread the marinated lamb onto skewers, alternating with onion wedges and bell pepper chunks.

Step 4: Sear the lamb on the center grill grate

1. Place the skewers on the center grate of the Arteflame grill.
2. Sear for about 1-2 minutes per side to lock in the juices.

Step 5: Finish cooking on the flat cooktop

1. Move the skewers to the flat cooktop surrounding the center grill grate.
2. Cook, turning occasionally, until the lamb reaches an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare.
3. Remove from the grill when internal temperature is 115°F, as it will continue to cook off the heat.

Step 6: Rest and serve

1. Let the kebabs rest for 5 minutes before serving.
2. Enjoy hot with your favorite sides!

Tips

• Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
