Best 5 Cranberry Glazed Lamb Skewers Recipes

CRANBERRY GLAZED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• If the chops are particularly thick, place each one between two layers of plastic wrap and gently flatten them using the heel of your hand or a wooden mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
• Combine the cranberry relish, rosemary and vinegar (it sometimes helps to warm the cranberry relish a bit in the microwave or a small saucepan). Put half of the cranberry mixture in a container large enough to hold all the chops - this is the marinade. Set aside the second half of the mixture to use later as the glaze.
• Toss the chops with the cranberry marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
• Preheat oven broiler.
• When the broiler is ready, take the chops out of the fridge. Wipe off the marinade, sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper, and place them on a rack and broiling pan.
• Position the pan close to the source of heat and broil chops 4 minutes. Brush chops with half of the glaze, broil for another minute. Turn the chops over and broil 2-3 minutes longer. Brush on remaining glaze and broil about a minute longer or until chops are medium-rare or of desired doneness.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH CRANBERRY SAUCE AND CRANBERRY-SERRANO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, honey, 2 cups of cranberries and 1 cup of water in a medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until the cranberries pop and become soft and the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in the onion, ginger, chile, garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook until thick about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining cranberries and cilantro. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• For the cranberry Sauce:
• Bring cranberry juice, vinegar and wine to a boil in a large saucepan, stir in the sugar and cook until the mixture is reduced by half. Add the chicken stock and peppercorns and cook until reduced to about 1 1/2 cups (or sauce consistency). Strain the sauce and season with salt. Keep warm.
• For the Grilled Lamb Chops:
• Heat the grill to high or a grill pan over high heat. Brush chops on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on both sides and cooked to medium doneness, about 6 minutes total. Remove lamb from the grill, loosely tent and let rest 5 minutes before serving. Serve on a plater with cranberry chutney and cranberry sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

SPICED LAMB SKEWERS WITH LEMONY ONIONS

Steps:

• Season lamb with salt and pepper. Add cumin and turmeric and toss to coat. (This can be done up to 24 hours ahead, if you like.)
• If you're using a charcoal grill, build the fire so it's screaming hot. This lamb is to be cooked hot and fast so it can stay nicely medium-rare, so the hotter the better. If you're using a gas grill, set it on high. Bring a clean platter, cutting board or baking dish out to the grill for the skewers to rest in after cooking.
• Combine onion, sumac (if using) and 3 tablespoons lemon juice; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Set aside.
• Combine yogurt and remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Skewer the lamb onto wooden or metal skewers, 2 to 4 pieces per skewer.
• Once the grill is hot, cook the skewers on all sides until deeply browned and lightly charred all over, 2 to 3 minutes per side (less time for smaller pieces), moving the skewers around as needed to prevent excessive flare-ups. (If you've trimmed most of the fat away from the lamb, the flare-ups shouldn't be too bad.)
• Transfer the skewers to the platter, cutting board or baking dish to rest for a few minutes and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with the dressed onions, lemony yogurt, cilantro, olives, lavash and any pickled vegetables or peppers you like.

HONEY GLAZED LAMB KEBABS

Steps:

• Light a grill or preheat the broiler.
• In a shallow bowl, combine the garlic, salt, coriander, cardamom and paprika.
• Add the lamb and oil and coat the meat with the spice mixture.
• Thread the lamb and onions onto metal skewers, alternating the meat and vegetables.
• In a small saucepan, melt the honey over moderate heat until it caramelises, about 4 minutes.
• Add the vinegar and boil for 1 minute.
• Add the chicken stock, and boil until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 8 minutes.
• Stir in the dissolved mustard powder.
• Grill the kebabs over very high heat or broil, turning frequently, for 2 minutes.
• Move the kebabs to a cooler part of the grill or further from the broiler and brush them all over with the glaze.
• Grill or broil for about 8 minutes, turning once, until the meat is slightly pink inside.
• Arrange the kebabs on a platter and drizzle with the remaining glaze.
