Ingredients

  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 large onions, grated
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • ½ teaspoon saffron
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ¾ pounds boneless lamb, cut into 1/2-inch x 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 4 tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon sumac powder (Optional)

Directions

Step 1
Combine olive oil, lime juice, onions, garlic, saffron, salt, and pepper in a large, zip top food storage bag. Place lamb pieces in bag; seal and shake to combine. Marinate lamb, refrigerated, overnight or up to 24 hours.

Step 2
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Step 3
Thread marinated lamb on long, thin metal skewers. Thread whole tomatoes on another skewer. Brush lamb and tomatoes with marinade; discard remaining marinade.

Step 4
Grill kebabs, until lamb is cooked to your liking and tomatoes are hot and grill marked, about 5 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with sumac, if desired, before serving.

Cook’s Note:

If you're serving this with rice, sprinkle with ground sumac, if desired.
