Marinade for lamb

[Tilly2]

I want to marinade some chunks of lamb neck fillet to make kebabs tonight.
Does anyone have any simple marinade recipes that I can make out of store cupboard ingredients.
I have garlic, rosemary, balsamic vinegar, olive oil. Will balsamic vinegar 'go' with lamb. Any ideas please.

blast, link didn't work, sorry.

[Tilly2]

Thanks for trying, alba. I could have looked on there myself. I'm just being lazy asking on here.

Plus it's nice getting different ideas.

[albaqwerty]

I'd put your ingredients into a bag and shoogle the lamb about and leave for as long as possible.

[Tilly2]

Would the balsamic be o.k. then?

[albaqwerty]

would seem so, I haven't tried it myself, but when googling they did say 2 tbspns on the defunct link :-)

[Tilly2]

Right, thank you, alba. I'll go and do it now. Well, when I'm dressed. Can't fiddle about with food in my dressing gown.

[NoMercy]

Yes, but add a little tom purée to the mix.

[Tilly2]

Thank you, NOM. I'll do that.
So balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, tom puree, olive oil.
What about onion? Does it need onion?

[albaqwerty]

Personally, I'd leave the onion out.

[NoMercy]

You could finely grate the onion.

Or you could do something totally different and marinate it in garlic, ginger, spices, lemon juice and natural yogurt.

For kebabs I'd use a mix along the lines of olive oil, cumin, chilli, garlic, lemon

[Tilly2]

The lamb kebabs were absolutely delicious.
I marinated them in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, tom. puree, fresh rosemary oregano and loads of black pepper.

They were beautifully tender. I served them with mushroom stir fry, wholegrain rice and steamed sweetcorn cobs.

Scrummy.

[albaqwerty]

I'm glad you let us know Tilly x
That sounds really delicious. (I'm hungry now!)

[Tilly2]

I can offer you some muesli, alba. That's what I'm having.

Thanks for your help yesterday.

[albaqwerty]

Tea and toast here Tilly, thank you. x

I like the sound of NoM's one with yoghurt and ginger etc.

[Tilly2]

I might try NoM's next time. Backdrifter's sounds good as well. I think that one would go nicely with chicken.

Anyway, boring old roast today. No messing about with a mortar and pestle.
