Cumin lamb stir-fry
Whole cumin seed toasted and crushed rather than ground powder, which is the entire dish — powder tastes dusty in a hot wok and the cracked seed pops and coats the meat.

6 steps · 25 minutes
- Freeze the lamb 20 minutes first. It slices paper thin while it is half firm and shreds when it is soft.
- Toast the cumin and chiles in a dry pan until they smell of themselves, then crush them coarsely in a mortar.
- Get the pan hotter than feels reasonable and cook the lamb in two batches, 90 seconds each. One crowded batch steams.
- Onion and pepper next, 2 minutes only — they should still have a bite.
- Lamb back in with the garlic and the crushed spice, tossed for 30 seconds.
- Off the heat, herbs through. It waits for nobody and is a different dish five minutes later.
