I had some minced/ground lamb the other night and decided to come up with lamb kebabs with coconut curry dipping sauce. Pretty much everything else was in the pantry, and it was a real success.
Super Simple Lamb Kebabs With Coconut Curry Dipping Sauce
Low carb, Paleo, Banting, LCHF, gluten free.
The lamb kebabs with coconut curry dipping sauce can be made in the oven (for those of you in winter right now), in the frying pan or on the barbecue (for those of you enjoying a summer).
The coconut curry dipping sauce is simply delicious. But make sure you make enough, because my little ones guzzled the sauce up even when the kebabs were gone.
The trick to making the mince/ground lamb to stick to the kebabs is to make a sausage shape firmly with your hands first, then push the bamboo skewer into the centre.
Enjoy these with coconut cauliflower rice and you have the most nutritious dinner. Gone are the rice, pitta breads, and sweet sauces. This will soon become a family favourite.

Does coconut milk work for the sauce rather than coconut cream? I’m guessing it would be a thinner consistency, right?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
It would be too thin and runny. Coconut cream is amazing. Make sure you choose one like this one. I select brands which are 20-25% fat and 1-3% carbs.
Beck Spicer says
Thank you! Will certainly give it a try 👍🏼

I love this recipe and love your site. Thanks

I absolutely love this recipe! Lamb is my favourite meat and anything with mince is a winner. I also have fallen in love with Cauliflower Rice since starting LCHF, I used to eat brown rice but couldn’t believe how good cauliflower rice is and it soaks up sauce/cooking juices nicely which is what I was missing about rice. I also love your idea for the curry sauce, it’s so easy and simple and with the different types of Thai and Indian curry pastes available you can vary it up really easily. I used an Indian Rogan Josh curry paste, which is perfect for lamb. But also would like to try a hotter curry paste like Thai Red 🙂

Enjoyed these tonight, served with a shredded white cabbage and carrot salad. And a chilli satay sauce with peanut.

Bingo. Bingo. Bingo. Jackpot. We ordered a lamb last fall. Loved the chops and shanks, etc. But the minced meat I do not like. Made me miss my ground beef. But this! I know the whole family is going to LOVE this recipe! I am so excited! I will try this hopefully this week and report back!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Boom! Fabulous result for you guys. A whole lamb huh? Oh how I wish I had a big enough freezer for that. Also try my lamb mint burgers.
thehomeschoolingdoctor says
I will try those next. I love our deep freeze. Helps SO much. Everyone enjoyed this recipe! I have a child who doesn’t like the idea of eating lamb, but she liked these and ate them! My sausage shapes did not look as nice and slender as yours. More fat and plump-like. I like spices, so I did double the spice content and added some salt and pepper. Definitely a recipe I’ll go to for future ground lamb. Highly recommended for non-lamb likers who have to eat lamb. 🙂
Claire says
Thanks this sounds so easy. Thought I will make the mince into balls with the sauce doubled & poured over. What do you think?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
That’s a brilliant suggestion. Take a photo and upload it to Facebook, instagram or Pinterest and we can all se it 🙂

I love Claire’s idea of meatballs! How about all of that in the slow cooker (I can’t help but imagine, a nice sticky sauce on those meatballs at the end – YUM!)?

Looks a very tasty meal to me – thanks for sharing
All the best Jan
Ciru says
At what temperature (F) should I bake this at?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
180C or 350F
Ciru says
I have made these at least one a week for the last month and they are omg so delicious!
For the record I once made meatballs instead of kebabs and while they tasted just as good and cooked for the same duration, they were more time consuming to make (rolling the balls). I have since kept it simple; roll into kebabs and skip the skewers, bake in oven. I serve them with a side of sauteed zucchini sticks.
Thank you for sharing!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Wow I love time saving tips like this, a great idea to cook them like this. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Lila Vagana says
Yum I’m going to try it with my beef mince left out for tonight.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Brilliant! Any mince/ground meat would work. 🙂
