Ingredients

  • 4-6 red chillies, deseeded and cut in half
  • For the marinade:

  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, finely crushed
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lemon and 1 lime

Method

  1. Prepare the marinade; in a large shallow bowl mix together all the marinade ingredients.
  2. Thread equal amounts of lamb and chillies onto 4 short metal or wooden skewers (previously soaked in cold water for 20 minutes). Place in a shallow dish, pour over the marinade, cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or overnight.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the salsa; in a large bowl mix all the ingredients together and set aside.
  4. Cook the steaks on a prepared barbecue or preheated moderate grill and cook for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked and any meat juices run clear.
  5. Serve the skewers with the salsa and garlic bread.
