Grilled Lamb Skewers with Apricots, Zucchini, and Saffron Lemon Honey Marinade

1. 1

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes. Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat, about 450 °F / 230 °C.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, mix 30 ml olive oil, honey, lemon juice and zest, garlic, saffron, cumin, black pepper, and 6 g salt until well combined.

3. 3

   Add the lamb cubes to the marinade and toss until fully coated. Let stand for 15 minutes in a cool spot while you prepare the vegetables and fruit.

4. 4

   In another bowl, toss the zucchini, red onion, and apricots with the remaining 15 ml olive oil and 2 g salt.

5. 5

   Thread the skewers, alternating lamb, zucchini, red onion, and apricot halves until all ingredients are used.

6. 6

   Clean and lightly oil the grill grates. Place the skewers on the grill at 450 °F / 230 °C.

7. 7

   Cook for 12 to 14 minutes, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until the lamb is browned at the edges and reaches an internal temperature of 145 °F / 63 °C for medium, and the zucchini and apricots are lightly charred.

8. 8

   Transfer the skewers to a platter and let rest for 3 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and toasted pistachios before serving.
