Moroccan Spiced Lamb Kebabs - Wow!

<p />Wow,[p]I finally found some cardamon and tried these Moroccan Lamb Kebabs again and they turned out fantastic after marinating for 24 hours. The hardest part was cubing a boneless leg of lamb from Costco. It's a bit of work to trim the fat & sinew, but after last nights dinner I must say it was worth it. [p]I just cubed the lamb meat and tossed it in a zip lock bag with this marinade for up to 24 hours. I did the 24 hour marinade and the results are WOW. It Rocks![p]Served it up with fresh home made Tzatziki, basmati rice, and fresh ciabatta bread.[p]Oh yeah, here's a tip for turning skewers on the egg. If you look in the picture, you'll see on the left side I am using the rounded part of an extra skewer to pick up the pointy end of a kebab. I then use tongs to rotate it and set it back down. Picking it up this way allows the kebab to rotate freely and it works like a charm.[p]Here's the receipe with a link to where I found it on the Net. Highly recommended.[p]Cheers,[p]GrillMeister[p][p]Lamb Marinade:
1 Tbs. coarse black pepper
1 Tbs Kosher Salt
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. cardamon,
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme,
1 tsp chopped fresh oregano
1 Tbs. paprika
2 Tbs Dijon mustard
4 Tbs chopped fresh garlic
4 Tbs. grated onion
1 Cup Plain yogurt

    GrillMeister,
    I can't wait to try. Lora does not care for Lamb but she did try almost all the food at the Eggfest and loved it.
    Some she normally would not eat so I think she might change her mind on the lamb.
    Take care,
    Darian

    Thank you,

    GrillMeister,
    That looks great I'm saving this one to the HD for later!
    How long on the cook per side? We ate at a middle eastern resturant in Columbus a couple years ago and the food was fantastic. They did the kabobs all with ground meat (except for the chicken)and cooked it on flat skewers.

    dhuffjr,[p]I grilled them direct on an extended grid about 5 to 7 minutes a side at 450 dome temp. I checked them with my Thermapen and when they hit 140 internal, I took them off.[p]I can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch. Hmmm.
