2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground lamb
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 onion, finely chopped
2 poblano peppers, seeded and diced (or 2 small green bell peppers)

Plain yogurt, preferably sheep's milk, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and cook, breaking up with a fork, until well browned, 5 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Transfer meat to a paper towel-lined plate.

Rosemary Lamb Chili (Crock Pot) image

I don't eat red meat as a rule, but lamb is one thing I make an exception for once or twice a year. This mild chili could also be made on the stove top, but I like to make all my chili and most of my soups in a crock pot and let it simmer. Do it whatever way you prefer.

Provided by Mobilejpop

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Lamb     Chops

Time 8h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 raw chop with refuse, 120 g; (blank) 4.225 ounces lamb chops
2 each lemons, juiced
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup brown sugar
⅛ cup chopped fresh parsley
⅛ cup chopped fresh mint
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground dried chipotle pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 dashes Worcestershire sauce
3 dashes liquid smoke flavoring
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse lamb chops and pat dry. Set aside.
  • Whisk lemon juice, white wine, brown sugar, parsley, mint, vinegar, chili powder, chipotle powder, garlic, Worcestershire, liquid smoke, salt, and black pepper together in a large mixing bowl to emulsify. Add lamb chops. Marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Cook lamb chops on the preheated grill until browned and only slightly pink in the centers, brushing with marinade frequently, about 6 minutes per side. Stand chops upright for the final turn, which heats the bone and cooks the meat internally. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Rest lamb chops for about 3 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: Lamb shoulder or leg is best for sekuwa. These cuts are tough but have a lot of flavor. If you're using a leaner cut of lamb, you may need to add some fat to the pan.
  • Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb in a mixture of spices and herbs will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a store-bought marinade or make your own. Be sure to let the lamb marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the lamb over high heat: Sekuwa is traditionally cooked over an open fire, but you can also cook it in a hot skillet or on a grill. The high heat will help to sear the meat and lock in the flavor.
  • Don't overcook the lamb: Lamb is best when it is cooked medium-rare to medium. Overcooked lamb will be tough and dry.
  • Serve the sekuwa with your favorite sides: Sekuwa is traditionally served with rice, salad, and a spicy sauce. You can also serve it with naan bread, pita bread, or tortillas.

Conclusion:

Sekuwa is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are a fan of lamb or just looking for something new to try, sekuwa is a great option. So next time you are looking for a flavorful and easy-to-make dish, give sekuwa a try.
