Qodban - Moroccan Marinated Lamb Kabobs

This spring, I’d like to try this Moroccan dish with venison; however, I will omit the cilantro (and perhaps double the parsley).

Regarding the beef suet mentioned in the recipe, I will have to come up with a suitable substitute; perhaps steak trimmings?

From Time/Life's Foods of the World - A Quintet of Cuisines, 1970:

Qodban
Marinated Lamb Kabobs

To Serve 4:

1/4 cup strained fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
3 pounds fresh beef suet, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 pounds lean boneless lamb, preferably from the leg, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1-inch cubes

Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, coriander, garlic, parsley, ginger, turmeric, cumin and salt in a deep bowl and stir until all the ingredients are mixed. Drop in the lamb and turn the pieces about with a spoon to coat them well. Marinate at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or in the refrigerator for 6 hours, turning the lamb occasionally.

Light a layer of coals in a charcoal broiler and let them burn until a white ash appears on the surface, or preheat the broiler of your range to its highest point.

Remove the cubes of lamb and discard the marinade. Then, starting with a cube of suet and ending with one of lamb, thread the suet and lamb cubes alternately on six long skewers, pressing the suet and lamb firmly together.

Broil 4 inches from the heat, turning the skewers occasionally, until the lamb is done to your taste. For pink lamb, allow about 10 minutes; for the more traditionally Moroccan well-done lamb, broil the qodban for about 15 minutes.

Slide the lamb off the skewers onto a heated platter and discard the fat. Qodban will serve two or three as a main course or four as one of the dishes for a traditional Moroccan meal of many courses.

I don't like sheep. Will wait for venison version. But venison is usually dry, might need to alternate with pork???

You know, we don't hear from you in a year and this is what you come up with. NOW I'll be thinking about it all week... THANKS.

The weather has been poor as you know.

So I spent the week end making jelly. I have one wild grape plant the is starting to come on to its own. If the weather lets it I produces great juice grapes.

This year I got a gallon and a half finished juice and froze it for a later day. Well that was this weekend. I only got through a gallon and made 36 half pints of great grape jelly. Wild grapes are very "Bright" in flavor that means sour. I add 6 cups of sugar to 3 cups of juice and it still "Tangs" your tongue.

Thanks TasunkaWitko maybe I will make some up with my last antelope package. Clap

"6 cups of sugar to 3 cups of juice"

That will surely put me in diabetic shock.

With jelly you need the sugar to make it set.

There is a way to do it with less sugar but I don't know how.

Maybe I'll try some wine next time.

How about Chokecherry / grape wine???
