Cumin-Spiced Chinese Lamb Skewers

Cumin-Spiced Chinese Lamb Skewers

Recipe by Louis Tikaram

Ingredients

  • 700g lamb

    1 onion, sliced

    1 teaspoon salt

    1 tablespoon chili powder

    1 tablespoon ground cumin

Method

  • Cut the lamb into 1cm cubes and place them into a mixing bowl.

    Add the sliced onion and salt to the lamb. Mix well and leave to marinate for at least 1 hour.

    Preheat your grill or BBQ.

    Skewer the lamb cubes onto bamboo or metal skewers, evenly distributing the lean pieces and fatty pieces to ensure even cooking.

    Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on it and flip them frequently to sear the meat evenly.

    When the meat turns pale, sprinkle chili powder and ground cumin all over the skewers. Continue cooking until the meat is evenly browned. The inside should still be slightly pink for medium-rare doneness.
