Mongolian Lamb Skewers are a delightful blend of tender marinated lamb, grilled to perfection, showcasing bold flavors and a touch of smokiness. This gluten-free dish is perfect for a summer barbecue or a cozy indoor dinner.

Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 300 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Soy sauce (gluten-free) - 2 tablespoons
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped (for garnish)
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)
• Skewers - 4 (soaked in water if wooden)

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated, then cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
5. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness.
