How To Make Barbecued Lamb Shoulder Jingisukan

1

For the Genghis Khan sauce, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Refrigerate overnight.

2

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.

3

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.

Recipe Notes :

Marinade Tip: For enhanced flavor, marinate the lamb slices in the Genghis Khan sauce for several hours or overnight before grilling.

Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add or substitute vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or sweet potatoes to suit your taste.

Grilling Technique: Ensure the grill is preheated to high heat before adding the lamb and vegetables to achieve a perfect sear.

Serving Suggestion: Serve the grilled lamb and vegetables with steamed rice or noodles to complete the meal.
