Lunch at Home - Cumin Lamb

SIZZLING CUMIN LAMB
SALT & PEPPERED LAMB, CHILl-PICKLED LONG BEANS

The idea for this dish came from the menu of the Lung Shan restaurant (website - www.missionchinesefood.com) in San Francisco, as described and pictured in the NY Times.

Lamb shoulder was marinated with cumin, salt, pepper, white onions, soy and rice vinegar for about two days, green beans pickled with kosher salt, honey and rice vinegar overnight. I stir-fried white onions and pickled beans with garlic, ginger, white scallions, chili, white sesame and honey, and broiled lamb on a very cast iron skillet ( in a fajita-style). Original dish seems to be finished with peanuts, which I replaced by edamame - not at all a traditional Chinese ingredient, but I just don't like peanuts.

This was a very good plate, although the flavors were a touch too acidic for me. Also, I should have used a lot more onions, and make the sauce more of a sweet chili kind. That said, the lamb shoulder was nicely cooked (original dish calls for lamb belly, which I find a bit too fatty). Next time I will accentuate umami in the marinade, and give this entire dish a lot more sweetness.
