Provided by Ina Garten Bio & Top Recipes

Time 2h49m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 large garlic cloves
3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 lemons)
1/2 cup good olive oil
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 racks of lamb, frenched and cut into 8 chops each
Yogurt Mint Sauce, recipe follows
6 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
7 ounces Greek-style yogurt (recommended: Fage Total)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the garlic, rosemary, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until the herbs are finely minced. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and red wine and combine. Place the chops in a glass or ceramic dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour the marinade over the chops, turning to coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
  • When ready to cook, prepare a grill with one layer of hot coals or turn a gas grill to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Serve hot with the cold Yogurt Mint Sauce.
  • Place the scallions, mint, dill, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and puree until it's a coarse paste. Add the yogurt, salt, and pepper and pulse until combined. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop.

GRILLED LAMB KOFTA KEBABS WITH PISTACHIOS AND SPICY SALAD WRAP



Grilled Lamb Kofta Kebabs with Pistachios and Spicy Salad Wrap image

Authentic kebabs are delicious, full of nuts, spices, herbs and fruit, as anyone who's tasted proper Middle Eastern cooking knows. In this recipe I'm using a spice called sumac - it has a lovely flavor - but if you can't find it, try lemon zest instead. Buy really good ground lamb, or else a cut of trimmed shoulder or neck fillet and grind it up at home in a food processor. If you buy slightly older lamb (mutton), it's important to ask your butcher to remove the sinews, and that you cook the meat for a few minutes longer. This dish is best cooked on a barbecue over hot coals, but if that's not possible, put your broiler on to its highest setting or heat up a griddle pan. Either way, get your cooking source preheated.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound trimmed shoulder or neck fillet of lamb, chopped into 1-inch chunks
2 heaping tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1 level tablespoon ground chili pepper
1 level tablespoon ground cumin
4 level tablespoons sumac, if you can find any, or 1 lemon, zest finely grated
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
A good handful shelled pistachio nuts
A few handfuls mixed salad leaves, such as romaine, endive and arugula, washed, spun dry and shredded
A few handfuls mixed salad leaves, such as romaine, endive and arugula, washed, spun dry and shredded
A small bunch fresh mint, leaves picked
1 red onion, peeled and very finely sliced
1 lemon
A bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 large flatbreads or tortilla wraps
4 heaping tablespoons plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Place the lamb in a food processor with most of the thyme, chili, cumin and sumac (reserving a little of each for sprinkling over later), a little salt and pepper and all the pistachios. Put the lid on and keep pulsing until the mixture looks like ground meat.
  • Divide the meat into 4 equal pieces and get yourself 4 skewers. With damp hands, push and shape the meat around and along each skewer. Press little indents in the meat with your fingers as you go - this will give it a better texture when cooked.
  • In a bowl, mix the salad leaves and mint. In another bowl, combine the sliced onion with a good pinch of salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice (the acidity will take the edge off and lightly pickle the raw onion). Scrunch this all together with your hands, then mix in the parsley leaves.
  • Grill the kebabs until nicely golden on all sides. Dress your salad leaves and mint with a splash of extra-virgin olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and some salt and pepper. Meanwhile, warm the flatbreads for 30 seconds on the griddle pan or under the broiler, then divide between plates and top each with some dressed salad leaves and onion. When your kebabs are cooked, slip them off their skewers onto the flatbreads - you can leave them whole or break them up as I've done here. Sprinkle with the rest of the sumac, cumin, chili and fresh thyme, and a little salt and pepper. Now either toss the salads, grilled meat and juices together on top of the flatbreads and drizzle with some of the yogurt before rolling up and serving; or let your friends toss theirs together at the table, then dress and roll up their own, drizzled with some extra-virgin olive oil.

4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 1/2 pounds lamb tenderloin, trimmed of fat
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 pocketless pita breads
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 ounces baby spinach
1/2 English cucumber, sliced
2 plum tomatoes, sliced
1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (1 cup)

Steps:

  • To marinate the lamb, whisk together 4 tablespoons of the olive oil, the garlic and oregano in a medium baking dish. Add the lamb and turn to coat. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
  • Heat your grill to high.
  • Remove the lamb from the marinade and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place on the grill and grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the lamb over and continue grilling to medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  • While the lamb is resting, brush each pita on both sides with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown and slightly crisp, approximately 30 seconds per side.
  • To make the salad, whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, dill, salt and pepper to taste, and the honey in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil until emulsified. Add the spinach, cucumber, tomatoes, olives and feta to the bowl and toss to combine.
  • Top each pita with some of the salad and top with several slices of the lamb.
