These cumin, chilli lamb skewers are served by street vendors in Northern China. Traditionally, small pieces of lamb fat are threaded in-between the meat to make them extra juicy and flavoursome. It can be a little fiddly deboning the lamb forequarter chops, but they have the best fat to meat ratio for these skewers.

Ingredients

1.30 kg kilogram lamb forequarter chops (bone-in
1 tbsp tablespoon olive oil
1 tsp teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
1 tsp teaspoon sea salt
½ tsp teaspoon ground cumin
½ tsp teaspoon cumin seeds
¼ tsp teaspoon ground white pepper
¼ tsp teaspoon chilli powder

Directions

Remove most of the meat from the chops using a sharp boning style knife. Keep at least 3mm of fat, trimming away the excess. Leaving a small amount of fat behind will keep the skewers juicy. Cut lamb approximately into 2cm cubes. Add the lamb to a bowl with the olive oil. In a mortar and pestle, grind the Sichuan peppercorns into a coarse powder. Add the salt, ground cumin, cumin seeds, white pepper, chilli powder and gently stir. Add the spice mix to the lamb, mix all ingredients to evenly coat. If desired, cover and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours to marinate. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes.

Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over medium-high heat (210°C-250°C). Thread the lamb onto skewers.

Brush the cooking grills clean with a wire brush. Grill the lamb skewers over direct medium-high heat, with the lid closed, until the lamb skewers have deeply caramelised, 8 minutes for a medium result, turning once.

Remove the skewers from the barbecue and leave to rest for a couple minutes before serving.

Ingredients

200 g unsalted butter
300 g white chocolate
¾ cup milk
180 g caster sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 ½ tsp plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
Cooking oil spray, to grease
Cadbury Mini Eggs, to decorate (optional)
WHITE CHOCOLATE ICING
50 g white chocolate
90 g unsalted butter, softened
½ vanilla extract
5 ½ cups icing sugar mixture
2 tsp milk
tsp salt

Directions

Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over medium heat (180°C to 230°C). Add to a large Weber Ware Frying Pan the butter, white chocolate, milk and sugar.

Once the barbecue has preheated, place the frying pan with the chocolate mix onto the barbecue and leave to melt over direct medium heat for 5 minutes. Stirring with a silicone spatula every couple of minutes to prevent the white chocolate from sticking to the bottom. Once the mixture has completely melted, remove from the heat and pour the white chocolate mixture into a heatproof bowl. Leave the mixture for 5 minutes to cool. Wash and dry the frying pan.

Set up the barbecue for indirect cooking over medium-low heat (close to 180°C as possible). Lightly grease the frying pan with cooking oil spray and line with baking paper.

Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, whisk in the eggs, one at a time. Continue whisking, while adding the vanilla, flour and baking powder. Pour the batter into the frying pan.

Bake the cake for 30 minutes over indirect medium-low heat, until the top is golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Leave the cake to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Lift the cake out of the pan and leave to cool completely on a cooling rack.

Once cooled, use a 5cm diameter round cookie/scone cutter and cut small cakes out of the cake (keep the cuts close together to get the most mini cakes possible). Then set aside.

To make the buttercream; melt the white chocolate in the microwave, on 30 second bursts. Once melted leave to cool while continuing with the rest of the icing. Using electric beaters, beat the butter until pale. Add the vanilla, icing sugar, milk, salt and cooled white chocolate. Continue beating for 5 minutes, or until the buttercream is pale and fluffy.

Pipe the icing onto the mini mudcakes and if desired decorate with the Mini Eggs.

Tips: These mudcakes will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Prepare the barbecue for indirect cooking over medium heat (190°C-230°C). If you are using a Weber Q Barbecue, set up your barbecue with a convection tray and a roasting trivet.

Lightly coat the beef with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Calculate the cooking time for your roast (see tip 1).

Roast the beef over indirect medium heat, with the lid closed, until cooked to your desired doneness (for a 70mm thick roast, cook it for 70 minutes for a medium doneness).

When there is 40 minutes left of the cooking time, lay the pancetta over the beef. If desired, roughly lay the pancetta for a crispier result. Place the whole garlic bulb onto the barbecue in the indirect heat zone. Continue to roast the beef and garlic for 40 minutes. This is also great time to add any cut vegetables for roasting.

Once the beef is cooked to your liking and the garlic bulb has softened, remove from the barbecue. Leave the beef roast to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.

Carve the beef roast. Cut the garlic bulb in half crosswise and squeeze out the garlic paste. Serve the beef with the roasted garlic, teriyaki sauce, roasted potatoes and grilled broccolini (optional).

Tips

To calculate the cooking times for any roasts (without a cavity, i.e not poultry), measure the thickness and calculate 1 minute per millimetre. For example; if the roast is 70mm thick, cook it for 70 minutes for medium doneness.
