Step 1
Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 5 minutes. Thread lamb, pepper, and onion onto each skewer, alternating pieces.
Step 2
Whisk apricot jam, vinegar, coriander, 1 tbsp oil, and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Working in batches, sear skewers 2–3 minutes per side until lamb is golden and caramelized, turning once.
Step 5
Return all skewers to the pan. Pour apricot glaze over top and turn to coat evenly.
Step 6
Cook 2 more minutes, turning occasionally, until glaze is glossy and lamb is cooked through (145°F for medium).
