- Carrots
- Whisk first 6 ingredients (oil, lemon juice, coriander, cumin, paprika, cinnamon) in a medium bowl to blend. Set marinade aside.
- Cut any carrots longer than 3″ in half lengthwise on a diagonal. Cook carrots in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 4-5 minutes. Drain. Transfer carrots to a large bowl of ice water to cool. Drain and pat dry.
- Add carrots to marinade; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Cover and chill for ideally 4 hours or overnight.
- Assembly
- Boil potatoes in a pot of salted water until soft to a fork. Drain and let cool in a bowl with melting butter, dash of olive oil, and salt and pepper
- Arrange carrots on a large platter, set aside. Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Thread lamb into skewers. Grill lamb, turning every 1-2 minutes, until lamb is cooked to desired doneness, 7-8 minutes for medium rare to medium. Lay skewers over carrots and let lamb rest for 5 minutes.
- Fry minced garlic in olive oil for half a minute, then mix in a bowl with creme fraiche
- Then toss mint, garlic creme fraiche, lemon juice, and oil together. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon mint creme fraiche mixture over lamb and carrots.
