Ingredients

1	pound	lamb	ground
4	tablespoons	basil	fresh asian or regular, finely chopped
3	tablespoons	cilantro leaves	minced fresh
1	tablespoon	ginger	finely chopped
2	teaspoons	garlic	finely chopped
1	teaspoon	salt
2	teaspoons	peppercorns	sichuan, roasted and ground
2	teaspoons	hot chili peppers	dried, coarse, chopped
1	tablespoon	soy sauce, light
1	tablespoon	soy sauce, dark
2	tablespoons	rice wine	or dry sherry
2	teaspoons	sesame oil
1/2	pound	caul fat	or crepinette

Directions

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).
