INGREDIENTS:
900g/2 lb boneless leg of lamb 125 ml/4 fl oz fresh lemon juice 4 tablespoons shredded fresh ginger root
3 cloves garlic, crushed 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
freshly ground black pepper salt



1 Trim excess fat from the lamb and cut into 2.5 cm/1 in cubes. Combine the lamb, lemon juice, oil, ginger root, garlic, allspice, cayenne and pepper in a bowl. Stir well, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, stirring occasionally.
2 Thread the lamb onto skewers and cook over glowing coals on a barbecue, or under a hot grill, basting frequently with the marinade. Cook until pink, or till well done if preferred-do not overcook or the lamb will toughen. Season with salt after cooking, if desired. Serve hot.
