Spicy Chinese Cumin Lamb Skewers

Ingredients

• 1 pound lamb shoulder, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 10 skewers
• 2 tablespoons ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon salt

Directions

1. Thread a portion of the lamb pieces onto a flat kebab skewer. Repeat with remaining lamb and skewers.
2. Preheat a grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
3. Place skewers on the grill. Cook, turning often and sprinkling with cumin, red pepper flakes, and salt, until nicely browned and meat is no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes.

Notes

Kebabs can be grilled on any grill, even broiled in an oven. But they are best made with a special kebab grill that allows the skewers to sit on the charcoal, while allowing the chef to turn the skewers often so all sides are cooked evenly. Great for summer outdoor grilling.
