Directions
Combine oil, remaining 1 tablespoon harissa, and remaining 1 tablespoon cumin in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add sweet potato and plantain; toss to coat. Cover and microwave 3 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup oil mixture for serving.
Preheat a charcoal or gas grill with a greased grill rack for direct cooking over medium heat (350 degrees).
Drain lamb; discard marinade. Alternately thread onion wedges, lamb, sweet potato, and plantain onto 6 (12-inch) metal skewers. Grill kabobs 10 to 12 minutes or until lamb reaches 145 degrees for medium-rare doneness, or desired doneness, turning occasionally.
Serve with reserved oil mixture; garnish with sliced serrano pepper, if desired. Serve kabobs with spinach and shallot. Garnish with mint, if desired.
