Moroccan Spiced Skewers
A delicious weeknight meal that's easy and healthy. I've included the Moroccan spice recipe, but you can always buy the ready-made mix from the supermarket.
Ingredients:
1 large red capsicum, cut in 2cm pieces
400g butternut pumpkin, peeled, cut into 2cm pieces
400g lamb or beef steaks, cubed
2 small red onions, cut into thin wedges
Olive oil
400g chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Moroccan Spice Mix
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon mild paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon salt
Method:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius/180 degrees fan-forced. Combine ingredients for spice mix in a bowl. Place capsicum and pumpkin on a lined baking tray and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon spice mix. Bake for 20 minutes or until pumpkin is tender.
Place remaining spice mix and meat in a bowl. Toss to coat. Thread lamb and onion onto 8 bamboo skewers (soak the skewers before hand to prevent them from burning). Oil a barbecue plate, chargrill or frying pan and put heat to medium-high. Cook skewers, turning occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until cooked to your liking.
Combine capsicum, pumpkin, chickpeas. parsley and lemon juice in a bowl. Toss to combine. Serve skewers on top of capsicum mixture.
