Ingredients

1 lb ground lamb choose lamb shoulders or leg with 80/20 fat
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil or neutral cooking oil such as canola oil
3 potatoes diced into cubes
1 green chili or serrano pepper
1 white onion or yellow onion diced
3 tablespoons garlic minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary minced
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper or smoked paprika

Instructions

Before you start, let’s tenderize the lamb.
Make sure to drain all the liquids from the ground lamb. Add ground lamb to a bowl, and sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of fresh baking soda over it. Mix well and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
Prep all the ingredients while the lamb rests.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add cubed potatoes, ground lamb, finely diced green chili or serrano peppers, and diced onion.
Mix everything well, and cook for 10 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent ground lamb from sticking to the pan and burning. Cook until the lamb is browned.
Now add minced garlic, minced rosemary, ground turmeric and cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir well. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes until potatoes are soft and cooked through.
Serve hot with jasmine rice or plain steamed rice.

Notes

For juicy, flavorful meat, choose ground lamb with an 80/20 fat ratio.
Don’t skip tenderizing ground lamb with baking soda. A very small amount of baking soda is used, so there won’t be any aftertaste.
Stay away from old baking soda, it will leave an unpleasant aftertaste.
If ground lamb renders more fat (ground lamb that has more than 20% fat), you can scoop off some of the rendered fat from the pan, or brown ground lamb first in a hot pan, remove the browned meat to a kitchen paper towel to remove the grease.
