Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boned leg of lamb
  • 6 tablespoons pomegranate molasses or hoisin sauce, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated fresh onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 onion, quartered and separated into pieces
  • Lemon slices (optional)
  • Oregano sprigs (optional)

Method

  • Trim fat from lamb. Cut lamb into 60 (3/4-inch) pieces. Combine lamb, 3 tablespoons molasses, grated onion, salt, and pepper in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 8 hours, turning bag occasionally. Remove lamb from bag; discard marinade.
  • Thread 4 lamb cubes and 4 onion pieces alternately onto each of 15 (6-inch) skewers.
  • Preheat broiler. Place kebabs on a broiler pan; broil 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Pour 3 tablespoons molasses evenly over kebabs. Garnish with lemon and oregano, if desired.
