    • This spicy yogurt marinade tenderizes lamb beautifully--but it's not a long process, as with some marinades. Twenty minutes does the trick. Here, the lamb is paired with orange sections, which sear and turn slightly bitter, a bracing complement to the meat.

    Ingredients

    Serves:

      • 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
      • 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves
      • 3 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
      • 1 teaspoon paprika
      • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
      • 1/2 teaspoon salt
      • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
      • 1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
      • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
      • 1 pound lean leg of lamb, trimmed of fat and cut into 1-inch cubes
      • 2 seedless oranges, unpeeled, quartered and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

    Directions

    1. Preheat grill to high.

    2. Combine cilantro, parsley, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper in a food processor; process until the herbs are finely chopped. Add yogurt and lemon juice; process until smooth. Scrape into a medium bowl, add lamb and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

    3. Thread lamb and orange slices alternately onto 8 skewers. Discard marinade.

    4. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, until cooked to desired doneness, 7 to 10 minutes for medium-rare. Serve immediately.

    To oil a grill rack: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)

    To grill with wooden skewers: Wrap the exposed parts with foil to keep them from burning. (Contrary to conventional wisdom, soaking skewers in water doesn't protect them.)
