Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless lamb shoulder
• 2 tablespoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 inch fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 whole lime

Directions

Step 1

Start by cutting the lamb shoulder into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Add these to the spice mix and blend well.

Step 4

Rub the spice mix onto the lamb cubes, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 5

While the lamb is marinating, slice the red onion thinly and chop the fresh cilantro.

Step 6

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and let it heat up. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated lamb in a single layer. Cook until the lamb is browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium, add sliced red onions to the pan, and stir well. Cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Once the onions are cooked, lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for another 20 minutes or until the lamb is tender.

Step 9

Finely chop the cilantro and cut the lime into wedges.

Step 10

Serve the cumin lamb hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
