Method

step 1

Thread the lamb onto metal or wooden skewers soaked in water. Rub 2 tsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp of soy into the flesh. Put the peppercorns and cumin seeds in a mortar and pestle, and grind roughly. Add the chilli flakes and some sea salt, and sprinkle on the lamb. Leave until you’re ready to grill.
step 2

Mix the salad ingredients. In a smaller bowl, mix together 1 tsp sesame oil, the brown sugar, 3 tbsp soy, lemon juice and vinegar. Mix well, save a third to use as a dipping sauce for the lamb, and pour the rest over the salad and toss together.
step 3

Heat a bbq, oven grill or chargrill to hot. Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side, and serve with the extra dressing and salad.
