Sichuan BBQ Lamb is a flavorful and spicy dish that showcases tender lamb marinated in a fragrant blend of spices and grilled to perfection. This gluten-free delight is perfect for those who crave bold flavors and a touch of heat.

Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 400 grams, cut into bite-sized pieces
• Sichuan peppercorns - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Chili flakes - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 inch, minced
• Soy sauce (gluten-free) - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped for garnish
• Cilantro - a handful, chopped for garnish

Steps

1. In a dry skillet, toast the Sichuan peppercorns and cumin seeds over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool, then grind them into a powder.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground spices with chili flakes, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and rice vinegar to create a marinade.
3. Add the lamb pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated lamb onto skewers.
5. Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
6. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro before serving.
