To make the saffron infusion, gently crush the saffron threads in your fingers then place in a small bowl with the warm water. Set aside for 30 minutes or overnight.

2

Mince the garlic.

3

To make the skewers, combine the olive oil, cumin, coriander, saffron infusion, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Place the lamb cubes in the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly covered. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

4

Before cooking, remove the marinated lamb from the fridge to allow it to come to room temperature, approx. 30 minutes.

5

Preheat the grill or oven to 180°C, gas mark 4.

6

Chop the onions into wedges, then separate the layers. Thread the lamb cubes onto skewers, alternating with the red onion. Grill the skewers for approx. 10-15 minutes, turning them occasionally until the lamb reaches your desired level of doneness.

7

When ready to serve, arrange the saffron and lamb skewers on a platter, scatter over the pistachios and fresh mint leaves.
