Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat lamb cubes dry. Toss with Aleppo pepper, cumin, paprika, lemon juice, 1 tbsp oil, and a pinch of salt.

  2. Step 2

    Thread lamb onto skewers, packing pieces snugly. Let rest 5 minutes while you heat a skillet over medium-high.

  3. Step 3

    Add 1 tbsp oil to the hot skillet. Sear kebabs 3–4 minutes, rotating every 90 seconds, until deeply browned on all sides.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer kebabs to a plate. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil and broccoli to the same skillet; sear 4–5 minutes, stirring once, until edges crisp.

  5. Step 5

    Season broccoli with salt and pepper. Serve kebabs and broccoli hot from the skillet.

Tools you’ll need

  • metal skewers (two 10-inch)
