Istruzioni
- 1.Prepare the Lamb Skewers. Form the ground lamb into small, approximately 2.5 cm diameter, meatballs. Cut the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into pieces similar in size to the lamb meatballs. Thread the lamb, bell pepper pieces, and red onion pieces alternately onto skewers. Season the assembled skewers lightly with salt and black pepper, then drizzle with a small amount of olive oil.
- 2.Prepare Zucchini Ribbons. Using a vegetable peeler or a mandoline, carefully slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin, wide ribbons. Set these aside on a serving platter or individual plates.
- 3.Make the Fresh Herb Salsa. Finely chop the cherry tomatoes, fresh parsley, fresh basil, garlic cloves, drained capers, and pitted Kalamata olives. Combine all chopped ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Add the zest from half of the lemon, the fresh juice from the whole lemon, and 30ml of the extra virgin olive oil. Season the salsa with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of dried oregano. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
- 4.Cook the Skewers. Heat a grill pan or an outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the lamb and bell pepper skewers onto the grill. Cook for 8-12 minutes, turning the skewers occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp with visible grill marks.
- 5.Assemble and Serve. Arrange the prepared zucchini ribbons on your serving plates. Top the zucchini with the hot, grilled lamb and bell pepper skewers. Spoon a generous amount of the fresh herb salsa over the skewers and the zucchini ribbons. Serve immediately and enjoy this nutritious, flavorful Mediterranean-inspired meal.
