Ingredients for Apricot Lamb Kebabs

  • Lamb
  • Apricot Nectar
  • 1 cup chopped dried apricots
  • Grapeseed Oil
  • 2 tablespoons golden syrup
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • Black Pepper
  • 1 cup cubed red onion
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • Skewer

How to Make Apricot Lamb Kebabs

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup apricot nectar, 1 cup chopped dried apricots, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons golden syrup, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs of 1-inch cubed lamb to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  3. Thread lamb cubes onto skewers, alternating with 1 cup of cubed red onion and 1 cup of cubed bell pepper (any color).
  4. Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat. Cook the kebabs for approximately 8-10 minutes per side, or until the lamb is cooked through and slightly charred, brushing occasionally with the remaining marinade.
  5. While the kebabs cook, simmer the remaining marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Drizzle the reduced marinade over the cooked kebabs before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
