4
ingredients
- 800 g lean lamb, cubed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- sea salt, to taste (optional)
- dried rosemary, to taste if you are using wooden skewers instead of rosemary branches (optional)
- sage, to taste (optional)
- 2 onions, diced large
- 1 sweet green peppers or 1 red sweet bell pepper, diced large
- 8 thick rosemary branches soaking in water (to be used as the skewers)
- 4 cups cooked couscous
directions
- Combine lamb, lemon juice, garlic, pepper and ea ssalt (if using) in a bowl and refrigerate for 3 hours.
- Sprinkle lamb with rosemary and sage (if using) and thread lamb, alternating with onion and bell pepper onto the rosemary branches (or wooden skewers).
- Heat grill and cook the skewers on both sides for 3-4 minutes or until meat is cooked to your liking.
- Let rest for 4 minutes then serve with couscous and yoghurt and dill sauce. The recipe for this is in Michelle Trute's first book which is out of print, My recommendation is to combine yoghurt with dill and perhaps include chopped green onions. She'd undoutedly recommend low-fat natural yoghurt. I wouldn't be able to resist using Greek yoghurt.
- NOTE: To make your couscous more flavoursome, cook it in stock, and if you want it to be super-healthy, use a stock such as my Recipe #135453.

The vote was between 3 and 5 by the 4 diners. I boned a small leg of lamb and got just over 600grams of meat and marinated for about 7 hours and threaded meat onto dried rosemary skewers (got 12 skewers meat only), served with mashed potatoe and steamed veg and made for a very enjoyable meal thank you bluemoon downunder, made for New Kid on the Block tag game.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
