Cumin Lamb Skewers

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Servings: 32 skewers

Ingredients:

• Lamb shoulder chops 4lbs
• 1 tbsp cumin seed
• 1 tbsp chilli flakes
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic
• 1/2 tsp ginger
• 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine (Chinese cooking wine)

Instructions:

1. In a mortar and pestle, coarsely grind the chilli flakes, cumin. Add garlic and kosher salt and continue grinding to break the salt into smaller pieces and thoroughly combine the ingredients.

3. Put the lamb in a bowl and toss thoroughly with the spice mixture, oil and Shaoxing wine.

6. Remove skewers from heat and serve right away.
