How to Make Spicy Lamb Kabobs With Turkish Cacik

  1. **Make the Cacik:** Combine 1 cup diced cucumbers, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Gently stir in 1 cup plain Greek yogurt with a wooden spoon until well combined.
  3. Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint and a drizzle of 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  4. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for later. (Refrigerating enhances the flavors!)
  5. **Prepare the Skewers:** Lightly spray 8-10 metal or wooden skewers with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  6. **Assemble the Kabobs:** Thread 1 pound cubed lamb marinated (see ingredient list for marinade details) and your choice of vegetables (e.g., 1 bell pepper, 1 red onion, cherry tomatoes) onto the prepared skewers.
  7. **Grill the Kabobs:** Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the lamb kabobs for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the lamb reaches your desired internal temperature (145°F for medium).
  8. **Serve:** Serve the spicy lamb kebobs immediately with the Turkish Cacik, hummus, baba ghanoush, or pita bread.
