Spiced lamb kebabs

Ingredients:

• 450g/1lb lean boneless lamb leg steaks, cut into 2.5cm/1inch cubes
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
• 10ml/2tsp ground cinnamon
• 10ml/2tsp ground cumin
• Salt and freshly milled black pepper
• 10ml/2tsp rapeseed or olive oil
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Method:

1. Place the lamb in a large shallow dish. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to coat the cubes.
2. Thread the lamb onto 8 small or 4 large metal or wooden skewers (previously soaked in water) and transfer onto a large plate or foil-lined tray.
3. Cook on a prepared barbecue or under a preheated moderate grill for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until any meat juices run clear.
4. Serve with a couscous and chickpea salad with freshly chopped mint and a lemon dressing.

Tip: Instead of making your own, use a ready prepared dry rub mix to replace the spices.
