Ingredients

  • 4 American lamb loins, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 2 zucchinis, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 2 goldbar squash, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 2 red onions, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 2 mangos, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 36 kalamata olives, pitted
  • 36 cherry tomatoes
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Harissa Marinade:12 ancho chili pods, stemmed, seeded and toasted
  • 6 Tbs paprika
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 zest of lemons
  • 2 Tbs caraway, ground
  • 2 tsp coriander, ground
  • 2 tsp cinnamon, ground
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1/2 cup lemon-infused extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red pepper-infused extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  • For Harissa Marinade Combine the chilis, paprika, garlic, lemon zest, caraway coriander, cinnamon and cloves in a food processor and puree until it forms a paste. Slowly drizzle in the lemon-infused olive oil. Adjust spiciness by drizzling in the red pepper-infused olive oil. Add salt and pepper as needed. Transfer to a bowl and reserve.
  • Combine lamb with the Harissa Marinade. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove lamb from marinade and discard marinade.
  • Thread lamb, zucchini, squash, red onion and mango pieces onto bamboo skewers. Finish the skewer by placing an olive and cherry tomato at the end. Grill over medium heat until desired doneness. Serve with a minted couscous salad.

Soak bamboo skewers in water overnight so they won't ignite when placed on the grill.
