CUMIN LAMB STIR-FRY



Cumin Lamb Stir-Fry image

Fragrant, intense and full of fiery chile, this lamb stir-fry isn't for the timid eater. For the most authentic flavor, it's worth your while to seek out Sichuan peppercorns, which have a woodsy, tongue-numbing, camphor quality. (They are available at specialty spice markets, in Chinatown, or online.) You can substitute regular black peppercorns, but you won't get the same punch. If you're not a lamb-lover, you can also try this with lean beef. Serve this over white or brown rice to cut the heat, with a side of sliced cucumbers dressed with sesame oil and salt for freshness.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds
2 teaspoons Sichuan or regular peppercorns
1 pound boneless lamb
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 to 8 dried red chiles (or substitute 1/2 teaspoon or more crushed red pepper)
1 large white onion
1 bunch (about 8) scallions, trimmed
2 tablespoons peanut oil
3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese cooking sherry (Shaoxing rice wine) or dry sherry
2 cups fresh cilantro, leaves and stems
Rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast cumin seeds and peppercorns until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and crush lightly.
  • Slice meat across the grain into 1/2-inch-thick strips. Toss meat with crushed spices, ground cumin, salt and dried chiles.
  • Peel onion and halve it through the root end. Trim the ends and cut each half lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cut white and light green parts of scallions into 2-inch lengths. Thinly slice scallion greens; keep separate.
  • Heat a very large skillet or wok over high heat until screaming hot, about 5 minutes. Add oil. Toss in onion and the scallion bottoms. Cook, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are lightly charred but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Add lamb and chiles to skillet. Cook, tossing quickly, until meat begins to brown. Add garlic, soy sauce and sherry. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and lamb is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Toss in onions and scallion bottoms. Remove from heat and mix in cilantro and scallion greens. Serve hot, over rice.

LAMB STUFFED ZUCCHINI



Lamb Stuffed Zucchini image

I had several "eight-ball" or round zucchini from my garden and wanted a yummy main dish to make them into so I created this for dinner. It came out savory and delicious! It would be great to stir some cheese into the stuffing as well. I served it with steamed rice and fruit salad.

Provided by mommycook

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 55m

Yield 4 zucchini boats, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 zucchini
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 lb ground lamb
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg

Steps:

  • Wash the zucchini well and cut the stem off. If using regular long zucchini, slice in half lengthwise. Using a melon baller, hollow out the middle of the zucchini while keeping a "boat" of outer flesh intact. Swirl 1T. olive oil in the bottom of a baking dish and place the zucchini boats in the dish.
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a non-stick medium fry pan, saute the onions and garlic in the other T. of olive oil. Let them soften but do not brown.
  • Add the ground lamb and cook until the lamb is mostly cooked through.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the bread crumbs and rosemary, salt and pepper.
  • Beat the egg lightly in a separate bowl then pour over the lamb mixture and stir to combine.
  • Spoon the lamb mixture into each zucchini cavity, mounding to fill. Any filling that falls around the zucchini will just make nice browned bits to eat.
  • Cover with foil loosely and bake in oven for 20 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake another 10-15 minutes or until zucchini is nicely softened and stuffing is browned.

LAMB CHOPS WITH BEANS, CORN AND ZUCCHINI



Lamb Chops With Beans, Corn and Zucchini image

Lamb chops are always a treat, especially when marinated with lots of chopped rosemary, sage and garlic, then pan-fried slowly in extra-virgin olive oil. A delightful accompaniment is a seasonal vegetable stew of fresh green beans, corn and summer squash. For the best marriage of flavors, cook the vegetables until rather soft. The chops get no sauce; the vegetables are finished with a little gremolata, in this case a mixture of parsley, scallions and lemon zest.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, meat, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds lamb chops (you'll want 2 or 3 chops per person)
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 or 3 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup roughly chopped rosemary
1/4 cup roughly chopped sage
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 pound zucchini and summer squash, diced in large cubes
2 cups corn kernels (from 2 large ears)
1/2 pound green beans, or a mix of green beans and Romano beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths
3 scallions, finely sliced, both white and green parts
1/2 cup roughly chopped parsley, leaves and tender stems
Zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Generously season lamb chops with salt and pepper, garlic, rosemary and sage. Let marinate for at least 1 hour.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, gently pan-fry the chops in 1/4-inch olive oil, about 5 minutes per side, until lightly browned. For medium-rare, cook just until rising juices are visible on the surface of chops; for medium, cook for 2 minutes more. Remove chops and let rest on a warm platter.
  • Meanwhile, add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Add zucchini and squash, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Season lightly with salt. (This may be done up to several hours in advance.)
  • To finish, raise heat to high. Add corn and beans and stir. Season with salt and pepper. Add about 1/2 cup water, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, until the mixture is soft and juicy. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with the scallions, parsley and lemon zest.

Tips:

  • Choose tender lamb cuts: For stir-frying, select tender lamb cuts like loin chops, rib chops, or tenderloin. These cuts cook quickly and remain succulent.
  • Thinly slice the lamb: Thinly slicing the lamb ensures even cooking and helps create bite-sized pieces that absorb the flavors well.
  • Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb in a mixture of soy sauce, Chinese rice wine, sesame oil, and ginger adds flavor and tenderizes the meat.
  • Use a hot wok or large skillet: A hot wok or large skillet helps sear the lamb quickly, creating a nice crust and locking in the juices.
  • Stir-fry in batches: Avoid overcrowding the pan. Stir-frying the lamb in batches prevents steaming and ensures even cooking.
  • Cook the lamb until just done: Overcooking the lamb will make it tough. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end: Vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and carrots cook quickly. Add them towards the end of the stir-fry to retain their鮮豔色彩 and texture.
  • Season to taste: Before serving, adjust the seasoning of the stir-fry to your preference. Add more soy sauce, Chinese rice wine, or sesame oil if desired.
  • Serve immediately: Lamb stir-fries are best served immediately, while the meat is still tender and the vegetables are crisp.

Conclusion:

Lamb with zucchini stir-fry is a flavorful and healthy dish that combines tender lamb, crisp vegetables, and a savory sauce. By following these tips and using high-quality ingredients, you can easily create a delicious stir-fry that will impress your family and friends. Remember to choose tender lamb cuts, marinate the lamb, use a hot wok or large skillet, stir-fry in batches, cook the lamb until just done, add the vegetables towards the end, season to taste, and serve immediately. With a little practice, you'll be able to make this delectable dish like a pro.
