copper fire pit

What followed the invention of fire? The party. That's because once man had a warm, inviting place to gather, everyone wanted to congregate in his cave. Not much has changed today except the quality of the fire pit. This one is made of heavy-gauge solid copper by artisans in Turkey.

Tamarind-Glazed Lamb Skewers with Dried Apricot Relish

This is one ethnic kabob that is sure to please your guests and a great way to start of an Indian-themed BBQ. This grilled lamb recipe makes 6 appetizer size servings. If you can't find tamarind paste where you live, you can order premade tamarind sauce online and use it instead of the glaze.

Glaze:

Bring first 4 ingredients to boil in small saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1 cup, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice.

Apricot Relish:

Mix apricots and next 5 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Season relish to taste with salt and pepper. (Glaze and relish can be made 1 day ahead; cover separately and chill. Bring relish to room temperature. Stir glaze over medium heat until heated through.)


Circle Kabob Set

This shapely kabob set runs circles around the average, stick-straight skewer with a curve that allows them to fit snugly on any plate. One end of these stainless steel skewers is sharp for piling on the kabob ingredients, and the other end curves into an attractive coiled handle. Great gift for your favorite chef or the owner of that amazing beach house you're visiting this weekend. Sold as a set of four.

To Cook:

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle skewers with salt and pepper. Grill lamb to desired doneness, turning once and basting with glaze during last minute of grilling, about 2 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer skewers to platter. Serve with the apricot relish.
