Minted Lamb and Red Onion Skewers

May 7, 2015 by Katie Bryson

Minted Lamb Skewers with Pea and Feta Dip

Serve up these tender Lamb and Red Onion Skewers with a Pea, Mint, Feta and Yogurt Dip for a barbecue feast with family and friends

We’ve not lit our barbecue yet this year, in fact I put my thick duvet-like winter coat back on yesterday as the rain and wind threw itself at me as I attempted the school run. But being an optimist, I live in genuine hope that summer will eventually warm the shores of Whitley Bay.

As soon as it does i’ll be taking my glass of chilled rosé straight outside and sparking up the grill to cook some of these meaty skewers. When I was testing out this recipe for the Channel 4 website I took a batch over to my Californian sister-in-law who declared them to be the best thing she’d eaten since she moved to the UK. I’ll happily take that kind of endorsement!

The marinade is a very simple concoction that uses simple store cupboard hero mint sauce, which also gets an outing in the pea and feta dip. I whizzed up the dip in my new Optimum Froothie 9400 which is great for creating silky smooth sauces rapid style.

If you want to get ahead, then why not marinate a batch of lamb and then freeze it ready to cook once the sun decides to make an appearance. That’s what i’ve done 🙂

>>>Head on over to Channel 4 Fairy Giving You More for the recipe and keep your eye on the weather forecast!

    Oh these lamb kebabs look so succulent and tasty with that dip – can’t wait for some BBQ weather now! Saw you on TV today – so nice to see a familiar face:-)

      Aw thanks Camilla! I’m not that keen on seeing myself on TV so try and avoid it where possible 😉

    These sound heavenly! I’m a big fan of lamb, and red onion too. Now, fingers crossed for better weather!

    Lamb on the bbq is the way I love to eat it and that minty dip would be the perfect partner for it. Let’s hope for so much sun over the next few months, I could enjoy this recipe on a regular basis 🙂

      BBQing is the best isn’t it Laura… nothing like some chargrilled food when the sun is shining!

    Even though I don’t eat meat this sounds lovely to make for an “all-inclusive” barbecue. My FIL would love it!

      Thanks Kellie… we have an all-inclusive approach to cooking here too with veggies and non veggies in the family!

    These look fabulous – one to try if the wind ever stops blowing here in the UK!

      Indeed! We’ve lit the BBQ once so far this year… and we had to close the lid to stop it from going out!

Beautiful little book the audience were all given Beautiful little book the audience were all given at last night’s performance of #Here from @curious.monkey_ at @northern_stage. Such a powerful performance from the talented cast bringing together individual stories of what it means to seek sanctuary in the North East, the friendships that are forged and the spark of hope that refuses to be snuffed out. With the plight of refugees so visible right now,  the timing of this performance was impeccable. #RefugeesWelcome #togetherwithrefugees🧡 #StoryCollectors
