Mr Food Recipe - Lebanese flavors enhance these lamb kabobs with hints of cinnamon, paprika, lemon juice and garlic.
This simple, yet scrumptious marinade is also great with chicken and fish.
It's best to marinate the lamb overnight. This really infuses the flavors which are released when cooked over a hot barbecue.
The kabobs can be served smothered in garlic sauce with some salad, fresh bread or even pilau rice, which is how I sometimes have it.
Simply, simmer two cups of rice with four cups of chicken stock for 10 minutes and then throw in some chopped parsley, coriander, pinenuts and you're done!
