How To Make Barbecued Lamb Shoulder Jingisukan
For the Genghis Khan sauce, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the barbecue hotplate until very hot. Brush the vegetables with oil and grill until cooked to your preference. Transfer each vegetable to a warmed serving plate as they finish cooking.
Remove the ties from the lamb and slice into 1/2 cm thick pieces. Grill the lamb to your desired doneness and arrange on top of the grilled vegetables, allowing the meat juices to enhance the flavors. Serve with the prepared sauce.
