Ingredients

Butcher’s Selection Boneless Lamb Shoulder (typically 1.1kg)

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1/4 small leek, chopped

1 red chilli, chopped

½ thumb-sized piece ginger, peeled and chopped

250ml fresh pineapple juice

50ml dark soy sauce

3tbsp sesame oil

Juice ½ lime

2tbsp soft light brown sugar

50g unsalted butter

1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored and flesh cut into 5cm cubes

Vegetable oil, for brushing

Small bunch coriander, chopped

Small bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped

1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped

Zest and juice ½ lime

100ml olive oil

2tbsp cider vinegar

Vine tomatoes, lime wedges and coriander

Method

1
Cut the lamb into 5cm cubes. Put the marinade ingredients in a food processor, season with black pepper and blend until smooth. Put the marinade and lamb in a ziplock bag or lidded plastic container. Massage or stir the marinade around the lamb, making sure the meat is well covered. Leave in the fridge for 3-5 hrs, or overnight for a stronger flavour.
2
To make the kebabs, remove the lamb from the fridge. Pour the marinade into a pan and bring to the boil over a medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer for 10 mins or until the liquid has reduced by half. Add the sugar and butter and stir through until dissolved.
3
Now take 6 bamboo or metal skewers. (If using bamboo, pre-soak them in water for a few hours or overnight – this will stop them burning). Thread the lamb and pineapple on to the skewers, alternating meat and fruit.
4
Preheat your grill to hot, making sure the coals are white if using charcoal. Brush the kebabs with a little oil. For medium-rare lamb, grill for 3 mins on each side, brushing with marinade as you turn them. If you like your lamb more well done, add another minute per side.
5
Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Arrange the kebabs on a plate and garnish with the tomatoes, lime and coriander. Drizzle the sauce on top or serve on the side for dipping.
