Spiced Grilled Lamb With Peach Chutney

Preparation

1. Step 1

   If using bamboo skewers, place them in a bowl of water. Prepare the lamb: in a large bowl, combine the pepper, allspice, cumin, coriander, chili, cardamom, ginger, garlic, oil and a generous pinch of salt. Rub the mixture on the lamb and marinate for at least six hours in the refrigerator.

2. Step 2

   Make the chutney: place the cinnamon, cardamom and cloves on a square of cheesecloth and tie with kitchen twine. Place the sachet in a 6-quart saucepan with the mustard seeds, pomegranate seeds, ginger, chili, maple syrup, vinegar and orange juice. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the peaches and gently simmer on medium-low heat until the peaches are very tender and the liquid thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 60 to 75 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a heatproof container to cool. Refrigerate.

3. Step 3

   Heat a grill or nonstick skillet to high. Place no more than six lamb pieces on a skewer. Season generously with salt. Cook to desired temperature, 3 minutes on each side for medium rare. Take care not to burn the spices. Drizzle with lime juice and serve with chutney.
