Spicy Lamb Skewers are a tantalizing fusion of Chinese spice and succulent lamb, perfect for a flavorful lunch. Grilled to perfection, these skewers are both spicy and aromatic, making them a delightful treat for meat lovers.

Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 300 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, minced
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Szechuan peppercorns - 1 teaspoon, ground
• Chili powder - 1 tablespoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Skewers - 4 (soaked in water for 30 minutes if wooden)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, Szechuan peppercorns, chili powder, cumin, coriander, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
5. Lightly brush the skewers with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
6. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and has a nice char.
7. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
