Uighur Style Lamb Kebabs
- 2 lbs lamb (make sure to reserve some of the fat)
- 18 cup cumin powder (to sprinkle on meat)
- 18 cup red chili powder (to sprinkle on meat)
- salt
- Soak some bamboo skewers in water.
- Light the grill and let the coals burn down to red while youre prepping the meat.
- Cut the meat into little chunks, for dinner sized kebabs, make the meat chunks 1 cubes; for a fun snack during a party, cut them to 1 by 1/2 oblong rectangles.
- Assemble the skewers.
- Spear two chunks of meat and then one of fat, and then two more chunks of meat.
- The fat is not meant to be eaten; it is there to keep the meat moist.
- To marinate, sprinkle a coating of chili powder, cumin powder and salt on the kebabs to marinate while the grill is heating.
- When the coals are ready, lay the lamb skewers on the grill.
- Keep a glass of water next to the grill to quench any grease fires when the melting fat flares up.
- Sprinkle more spices on.
- If youre using lean meat, brush the meat with a little oil before sprinkling spices.
- Check for desired doneness, then remove from grill and eat.
- Serve with a side of nan bread (toasted sesame bagels are a good US substitute!
- ).
