Spicy Honey-Glazed Lamb Skewers with Apricot Couscous

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the lamb loin into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.

   ~5 min
2. 2

   In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Pour the marinade over the lamb cubes, toss to coat, and let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature (or longer in the refrigerator).

   ~10 min

   While the lamb marinates, prepare the couscous. Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

   ~5 min

   Chop the dried apricots and fresh mint. Stir the chopped apricots and toasted almonds into the fluffed couscous. Gently fold in most of the fresh mint, reserving some for garnish.

   During the last minute of grilling, brush the lamb skewers generously with the honey-harissa glaze. Remove from grill.
