SPICY KEBABS

     MEAT-KEBABS - Spicy pork or lamb kebabs

     I copied this from a newspaper or magazine a long time ago;
     I forget where.  It was originally for pork, but it's good
     with lamb too.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)
     2 lb      lean boneless pork or lamb, cut into 1 1/2 inch
               (approx.) cubes
     1/4 cup   smooth peanut butter
     1 tsp     ground coriander
     1 1/2 tsp salt
     1/2 tsp   cayenne pepper or more, to taste
     1 tsp     ground cumin
     1/2 tsp   pepper
     4         onions
     1         garlic clove, minced
     1 1/2 Tbsp
               lemon juice
     1 Tbsp    brown sugar
     1 Tbsp    soy sauce

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Grate the onions. This is best done using a food
               processor.  Mincing is not good enough; you want
               to end up with something wet and mushy.  Don't
               stick your nose into the food processor.

          (2)  Put all the ingredients into a large bowl, mix
               well, and cover.

          (3)  Refrigerate for several hours, mixing occasion-
               ally.

          (4)  Put meat cubes on skewers, keeping as much of the
               onion mixture on them as you can.

          (5)  Grill over hot coals, turning to brown each side,
               for 20 to 25 minutes or until meat is cooked
               through.  (Lamb should still be slightly pink;
               pork should not.)

NOTES
     You could probably put some vegetables (onions, bell
     peppers) on the skewers between the meat chunks; watch out
     that the veggies don't burn.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 15 minutes preparation, several
     hours marinating, 30 minutes cooking.  Precision:

     Approximate measurement OK.
