Ingredients
For the lamb
- 500 g diced lamb shoulder
- salt
- 1 lime juice only
- freshly ground black pepper
- coriander finely chopped
For the ginger lime dressing
- 120 g sour cream
- 1 lime juice and finely grated zest
- 1 lemongrass stalk
- 1 thumb-size piece fresh ginger peeled
- salt
Instructions
- If you are using wooden skewers (like I was), soak them in some water. Place the lamb into a wide-bottomed bowl and season with salt. Halve the lime and squeeze over the lime juice. Toss gently to coat then cover and set aside for at least 45 minutes.
- For the dressing, place the sour cream into a bowl and use a microplane or fine zester to finely grate the zest of one lime into the mixture. Then, halve the lime and squeeze in all the juice.
- Remove and discard the tough outer layer of your lemongrass stalk. At the same time, use a good-quality vegetable peeler to remove the skin of the piece of ginger. Use a sharp knife to dice up the lemongrass and ginger as small as possible.
- Place the lemongrass and ginger into a mortar and use the pestle to grind to a pulp. We do this to release their fresh flavours (and obviously avoid chewing on clumps of lemongrass and ginger in the sauce, which is not desirable).
- Scrape the paste into the sour cream sauce and mix well to combine. Set aside while you prepare your BBQ. I prefer this dressing at room temperature so there is no need to keep it in the fridge once made.
- Skewer the lamb pieces very tightly onto the skewers sticks and season generously with freshly ground black pepper.
- Once the BBQ is ready, cook the lamb until golden brown and caramelised on the outside. I like mine still pink on the inside, but that is entirely up to you. Cook them until done to your liking.
- Serve the lamb skewers with the ginger lime dressing and garnish the whole lot with chopped coriander. Enjoy!
