Ingredients
- 140 g Lamb liver, raw
- 15 g Lamb fat
- 2 g Cumin

Method
- Cut the lamb liver into 3 cm cubes and cut the lamb fat into thin sheets to wrap around each cube (this stands in for the caul fat traditionally used).
- Wrap each liver cube in a piece of the fat and thread 4-5 pieces onto a skewer.
- Mix the cumin and salt in a small bowl for dipping.
- Grill the skewers over hot coals or under a very hot grill for 2-3 minutes a side, until the fat is crisp and the liver is just cooked through but still faintly pink inside.
