Lamb and Potato Skewers
| 12 small | potatoes |
| 1 kg | lean,boneless lamb,cut into 4 cm cubes |
| 125 ml | olive oil |
| 1 tbsp | fresh rosemary, chopped |
| 1 tbsp | fresh lemon juice |
| ¼ tsp | salt |
| ¼ tsp | freshly ground pepper |
Method
In a saucepan, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water (skin on) until they are barely tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well and cover with cold water. Let stand for about 2 minutes, then drain again and pat dry with paper towels. Thread the potatoes onto skewers alternately with the lamb.
In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, rosemary, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Position the oiled grill 10-15 cm above the fire. Arrange the skewers on the rack. Grill for 6-8 minutes, turning two or three times and brushing with the oil mixture. Take care not to overcook the lamb; it should remain pink in the centre. Serve with any salad or vegetable of your choice.
Sturdy branches of fresh rosemary, 20 cm long and soaked in water for 2 hours, make aromatic and unusual skewers.

I’m a big fan of lamb and particularly like the sound of your recipe… I’d like to try it out soon.
One thought though – have you considered replacing the olive oil with hemp seed oil?
There are various Hemp Seed Oils on the market such as Good Oil.
Not only does it have a slightly fresher taste (in my opinion), but it’s also a good healthy alternative to olive oil and contains Omegas 3 and 6 while being amaingly delicous.
All the best – keep the recipes coming…
