Ingredients
- 1. 2 pounds lamb shoulder, cut into 1
- inch cubes 2. 3 tablespoons Szechuan cumin powder 3. 1 tablespoon smoked paprika 4. 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 5. 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 6. 4 cloves garlic, minced 7. 2 tablespoons sesame oil 8. 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 9. 1 tablespoon coconut aminos (or soy sauce) 10. 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) 11. Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish 12. Green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish 13. Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb cubes, cumin powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to coat the meat evenly. Marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, coconut aminos, and red pepper flakes (if using) to create the sesame garlic sauce.
- Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto metal skewers, leaving space between each piece for even cooking. Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the lamb skewers in the preheated oven for 15 20 minutes or until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle the sesame garlic sauce over the rested lamb skewers and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, green onions, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
