Cumin Lamb Chuan is a tantalizing Chinese BBQ dish featuring tender marinated lamb skewers infused with aromatic cumin and spices. This dish is grilled to perfection, delivering a smoky flavor that captivates the senses.

Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 300 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Cumin seeds - 2 teaspoons, toasted and ground
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the ground cumin, chili powder, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
2. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
3. Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

7. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately, pairing with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
