Grilled Australian lamb in Xinjiang-style spices, smoky and aromatic.
Braised
750 g Australian lamb rump
15 g Cumin seeds
0.5 tbsp Red Szechuan peppercorns
1 tbsp Dried Szechuan chilli flakes
1 tbsp Black peppercorns
0.5 tbsp Garlic powder
0.5 tbsp Ginger powder
1 tsp Kosher salt
1 tsp Chilli powder
In a small sauté pan over medium heat, toast the cumin seeds and peppercorns until lightly browned and they start to give off a fragrant aroma. Set aside to cool slightly.
Grind cumin, red and black peppercorns, chilli flakes, and salt in a clean spice grinder until powder in form.
Add ground spices to a small bowl with ginger, garlic and chilli powders, and whisk to combine.
Store in an airtight container and keep in a cool, dry location.
Marinate the lamb rump, then grill to your preferred doneness.
