Courses: Starters and appetizers
Serves: 8 people

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb 454g / 16ozGround lamb
4 tablespoons 60mlFresh Asian or reg. Basil - (finely chopped)
3 tablespoons 45mlMinced fresh coriander
1 tablespoon 15mlFinely chopped ginger
2 teaspoons 10mlFinely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon 5mlSalt
2 teaspoons 10mlSichuan peppercorns - roasted and ground
2 teaspoons 10mlCoarse. Chopped dried chiles
1 tablespoon 15mlLight soy sauce
1 tablespoon 15mlDark soy sauce
2 tablespoons 30mlRice wine or dry sherry
2 teaspoons 10mlChinese sesame oil
1/2 lb 227g / 8ozCaul fat or crepinette

Recipe Instructions

SOAK THE CAUL FAT in a bowl of cold water; this will allow the caul fat to unravel easily. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the ground lamb with all the ingredients except the caul fat.

Cut the caul fat into 20 (5-inch) squares. Lay out a square of caul fat and place several tablespoons of lamb mixture onto one end. Fold the sides in to form a package. Repeat until you have used up all the lamb.

Recipe can be done ahead to this point and refrigerated. Wrap the crepinettes well in plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Approximately 40 minutes before you are ready to cook, make a charcoal fire and, when the coals are ash white, grill the crepinettes for about 8 minutes on each side, or until they are done (firm to the touch).
