Gluten Free Grilled Figs & Lamb on Rosemary Skewers Recipe
For this dish, use rosemary branches with woody stalks, if possible. If the stalks are too flimsy to poke through the lamb, first make a hole by running a wooden or metal skewer through to make it easier.

Servings: 4 Servings
Calories: 432kcal
Ingredients
- Fresh rosemary branches with woody stalks
- 2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder cut into 1-2 inch cubes
- 2 red onions peeled and quartered
- 10-20 fresh figs
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher or fine sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- 2-3 garlic cloves roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Remove the lower leaves from the rosemary sprigs, leaving the tips intact.
- Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium. Thread the lamb and onions, alternating each, onto the rosemary skewers, using 3-4 cubes of meat per skewer. On separate rosemary skewers, thread the figs. Do not mix meat and figs on the same skewer, as the figs cook faster than the meat.
- Brush the lamb/onion skewers lightly with oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, garlic, and minced rosemary. Brush a little of this mixture on the lamb/onion skewers and the fig skewers.
- Grill over medium heat, turning the skewers as each side browns and taking care to avoid flare-ups. These will cook quickly, so watch carefully. Cook the lamb skewers for 6-10 minutes for medium-rare, and the fig skewers for 4-5 minutes. Serve immediately.
