Ingredients

For the marinade

3 tablespoons fresh flat leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fresh marjoram
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the skewers

2 pounds top round lamb, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large red onion, cut into 1 inch chunks
lemon wedges, for garnish

Instructions

1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.

2. Pat the lamb cubes dry and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Put the lamb and marinade in a glass dish or resealable plastic bag. Toss to evenly coat the meat and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.

3. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat.

4. Place a cube of lamb on a skewer, followed by the peppers and onions. Repeat until the skewers are filled.

How to make paella – Seafood paella

Watch how – to video 👇🏻

 

Recipe from http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/28117/print-friendly.aspx

Ingredients

Serves: 8
  • olive oil for frying
  • 5 runner beans, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 squid, cleaned and sliced
  • 1 large tomato
  • 8 prawns, shells on
  • salt to taste
  • 4 large mussels
  • 10 clams
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 400g short-grain rice
  • 1L fish stock
  • saffron
  • 4 crayfish
  • 4 king prawns, shells on
  • 1 lemon

Preparation method

Prep: 15 min |Cook: 1 hour | Extra time: 20 min, resting

  1. In a large frying pan or paella pan, heat a generous amount of olive oil (enough to cover the bottom of the pan) over medium heat. Add the beans and the garlic. Add the squid and continue to cook gently.
  2. Grate the tomato directly into the pan (or grate onto a plate and add to the pan). Add the eight smaller prawns and continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes. Add salt to taste, cook for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a small to medium saucepan over medium high heat till very hot. Add the mussels to the hot, dry saucepan, and cook until the mussels have opened. Remove the mussels from the pan and reserve. Repeat this process with the clams, ensuring you save the clam juice that collects in the pan. Set the mussels and clams aside.
  4. Bring the frying pan back to the heat and heat the mixture over medium heat till simmering. Stir in the paprika, then add the rice (do not rinse the rice before using!). Cover with the fish stock. Sprinkle in the saffron and gently stir in, without disturbing the rice. Lay the crayfish and king prawns in the pan, then add the mussels, clams and clam juice. (It looks nicest if you arrange the seafood in an alternating fashion in the pan.)
  5. Cook the paella over low heat until the rice is soft. Resist the urge to stir! The rice will slowly absorb most of the fish stock, but should not get overcooked and gooey.
  6. When the rice is tender, remove the pan from the heat and cover with a clean teatowel. Let the paella rest for 20 minutes until all of the liquid is absorbed.
  7. Serve the paella straightaway with lemon wedges. Enjoy!
