Savor a sticky, Asian-inspired barbecued lamb shoulder for summer.
Ingredients:
  • 131.25 gm soy sauce
  • 67.50 gm hoisin sauce
  • 45.00 gm lightly packed brown sugar
  • 20.00 ml sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2cm piece fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 62.50 ml rice wine vinegar
  • 1.5kg boned lamb shoulder (see note)
  • 6 thin green onions, trimmed, halved
  • 2 long red chillies, finely chopped
  • 125.00 ml roasted salted peanuts, chopped
  • 2 Lebanese cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • Steamed rice, to serve
Instructions:
  • Mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, oil, garlic, ginger, and 2 tablespoons of vinegar in a large shallow glass or ceramic dish. Add lamb and coat it in the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or ideally overnight.
  • Preheat a barbecue chargrill with hood on medium-low. Drain lamb, keeping the marinade. Grill lamb fat-side down for 15 minutes. Flip lamb and cook with the hood closed for 30-35 minutes for medium, or adjust to your preference. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  • While the reserved marinade is being placed in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Strain the sauce into a small jug. Heat a barbecue chargrill to medium heat. Cook the onions for 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they turn golden. Thinly slice the lamb and sprinkle it with the cooked onions, chili, and peanuts.
  • Combine the cucumber with the remaining vinegar in a bowl. Serve the lamb alongside the cucumber mixture, reserved marinade, and steamed rice.
