Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean lamb leg
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Start by trimming any visible fat from the lamb leg, then cut it into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the ground cumin, ground coriander, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the lamb strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 4

While the lamb is marinating, prepare the cilantro by finely chopping it and setting it aside for later garnish.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated lamb in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each batch for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the lamb is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Step 6

Remove the lamb from the skillet and place it on a serving platter. Let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Sprinkle the lamb with the freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 8

Serve the cumin lamb hot with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete, healthy meal.
