Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice

  • 2 large onions, grated

  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

  • ½ teaspoon saffron

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 ¾ pounds boneless lamb, cut into 1/2-inch x 1 1/2-inch pieces

  • 4 tomatoes

  • 1 tablespoon sumac powder (Optional)

Directions

  1. Combine olive oil, lime juice, onions, garlic, saffron, salt, and pepper in a large, zip top food storage bag. Place lamb pieces in bag; seal and shake to combine. Marinate lamb, refrigerated, overnight or up to 24 hours.

  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

  3. Thread marinated lamb on long, thin metal skewers. Thread whole tomatoes on another skewer. Brush lamb and tomatoes with marinade; discard remaining marinade.

  4. Grill kebabs, until lamb is cooked to your liking and tomatoes are hot and grill marked, about 5 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with sumac, if desired, before serving.

Cook's Note:

If you're serving this with rice, sprinkle with ground sumac, if desired.
