- Serves:
- 8
- Preparation time:
- 15
- Cooking time:
- 23 - 25 mins
Ingredients
- 4 lamb leg steaks, well trimmed and thawed if frozen
- 200ml Cola
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed or 1 tsp garlic purée
- 400g can chopped tomatoes
- 50g soft brown sugar
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 2 medium courgettes
- 8 closed cup mushrooms
- 1 red and 1 yellow pepper
Method
1. Cut the lamb into 3cm pieces and place in a non-metallic dish. Pour over the Cola , cover with cling film and chill for 2-3 hours. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a medium pan and cook the onion and garlic for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the tomatoes, sugar and vinegar. Simmer gently for 10 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally. Cool.
2. Slice the courgettes into 1cm pieces, halve the mushrooms and cut the peppers into 3cm pieces, discarding the core and seeds. Drain the lamb and Cola through a sieve; discard Cola. Thread lamb onto 8 skewers with the courgettes, mushrooms and peppers.
3. Preheat grill to its hottest setting. Place kebabs on a rack over a grill pan and brush with a little oil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning regularly and brushing with more oil. Serve with the relish, a crisp salad and jacket potatoes or chips.
Tips and hints
- If you haven't any metal skewers, use bamboo ones instead. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes before using and they shouldn't burn too much under the grill!
