METHOD

  1. Toss the lamb in the marinade ingredients and set aside at room temperature while you prep.

  2. Heat a wok or cast-iron on high and add cumin seeds, toast until fragrant, about 1 minute. Set aside.

  3. Heat the wok on high and add the onions, season with salt and cook tossing until lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Set aside.

  4. Reheat the wok on high and add the remaining oil. Add the garlic and chilli flakes and toss for about 15 seconds. Add the lamb, mix and press evenly distributing against the wok. Do not disturb for 2 minutes to brown. After the 2 minutes toss the meat for an additional 2-3 minutes until the lamb is browned on the outside and medium juicy pink on the inside.

  5. Turn the heat off and mix in the cumin seeds, chilli pepper, coriander, spring onion and sugar tossing to wilt. Salt to taste.

  6. Divide the lamb into warm bowls with hot sticky rice and evenly layer the fresh herbs over the top. Serve alongside [yellow tail] Malbec.
