V. Sattui cooking demonstration – Yogurt marinated lamb skewers

Serious Mealtimes / Joshua Bousel

Lamb and mint both have such assertive flavors but when you combine them they somehow manage to simultaneously enhance and tame each other. It really is a magical combination. I wanted to bring those two flavors to these skewers but I knew I needed a few more ingredients to make the marriage complete. First a marinade to help the mint bond with the lamb. A yogurt marinade was the obvious choice as it only adds to the synergy of both the lamb and mint. Plus the yogurt helps keep the lamb moist and tender as it cooks at high temperatures on the grill.

But lamb mint and yoghurt as great as they are are a little too two-dimensional on their own. To add some depth and complexity I added a few other ingredients to the marinade including coriander lemon juice garlic and paprika.
