Method

  1. 1

    Mix the oil, garlic, curry powder, jam, vinegar, sugar and turmeric in a bowl with a good pinch of salt. Stir in the lamb, cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  2. 2

    Soak the skewers in water for 20 minutes so they do not burn.

  3. 3

    Thread the lamb, onion chunks and dried apricots onto the skewers, starting and ending with lamb.

  4. 4

    Heat the barbecue or a griddle pan until hot. Grill the skewers for 12 to 15 minutes, turning often and brushing with leftover marinade for the first 8 minutes only, until the lamb is browned and cooked through.
