Categories     Beef     Lamb     Dinner     Grill/Barbecue

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon red chili flakes
1 tablespoon cumin seed
2 teaspoons fennel seed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
1 1/4 pound lamb shoulder chops, cut into 1-inch pieces and bones discarded (see note above)
1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
2 teaspoons Shaoxing wine
Bamboo skewers, soaked in water at least 2 hours and up to overnight

Steps:

  • In a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, coarsely grind chili flakes, cumin, and fennel. Add granulated garlic and kosher salt and briefly grind to break salt into smaller pieces and thoroughly combine ingredients. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the spice mix in a small bowl. Add lamb to a large bowl and toss thoroughly with the remaining spice mix, oil, and Shaoxing wine. Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Grill skewers, covered, over indirect heat until lamb is nearly cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Move skewers over direct heat, sprinkle with the reserved spice mix, and cook until well seared on both sides, about 1 minute total. Remove skewers from the grill and serve right away.

These lamb skewers are a great way to use up leftover lamb. I had some leftover from a roast lamb dinner, and these skewers were a great way to use it up.

I served the lamb skewers with a side of tzatziki sauce, and it was a perfect complement.

I marinated the lamb skewers for longer than the recipe called for, and I think it made them even more flavorful.

I had a hard time finding lamb skewers at the grocery store, so I used wooden skewers instead. They worked just fine.

These lamb skewers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best lamb skewers he's ever had.
