In many cultures, lamb is a symbol of hospitality and celebration, often enjoyed during gatherings and special occasions. The practice of grilling or broiling lamb reflects communal cooking methods that bring people together. Winter greens, easily available in January, add freshness and color, representing the resilience of nature in colder months. The dish encapsulates a sense of togetherness and the warmth of shared meals, paralleling the dialogues around national identity and community seen in Greenland's discussions of autonomy.

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine lamb cubes, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat your broiler on high. Thread the marinated lamb onto the skewers.
  3. Place the skewers on a baking sheet and broil for about 10-12 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked to desired doneness.
  4. While the lamb is broiling, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, toss together the kale, spinach, lemon juice, and olive oil. Massage the greens lightly to soften them.
  5. Add crumbled feta and chopped walnuts to the greens, mixing gently to combine.
  6. Once the lamb is cooked, remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve skewers on a bed of the winter greens salad.
