Brochettes d'Agneau Sauce Moutarde - Burkina Faso traditional dish

🧂 Ingredients

  • 600 g Lamb leg(boneless, cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1 large Onion(cut into chunks for skewers)
  • 1 medium Bell pepper(cut into chunks for skewers (any color))
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic(minced)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Herbs(fresh chopped (e.g., parsley, cilantro) for sauce)
  • 8-10 Wooden skewers(soaked in water for 30 minutes)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine the lamb cubes with 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator).

  2. 2

    While the lamb marinates, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped fresh herbs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with chunks of onion and bell pepper.

  4. 4

    Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.

  5. 5

    Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness and has nice grill marks. The vegetables should be tender-crisp.

  6. 6

    Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve the brochettes hot, with the mustard sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.

💡 Pro Tips

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cumin or paprika to the lamb marinade.
  • Ensure your grill is hot enough to get a good sear on the lamb.
  • Don't overcrowd the skewers; leave a little space between the pieces for even cooking.

🔄 Variations

  • Use beef or chicken instead of lamb.
  • Add cherry tomatoes or zucchini to the skewers.
  • For a creamier sauce, add a tablespoon of mayonnaise to the mustard sauce.
