Air Fryer Spicy Cumin Lamb

Ingredients

2 Lb Boneless Lamb Shoulder (Cut Into 1 Inch Thick Piece strips)
*2 Tablespoons Shaoxing Wine
Spice Mix

2 Tablespoons Cumin Powder
1 Tablespoon Ground Red Chili, Red Pepper Flakes Or Cayenne Pepper
1 Tablespoon White Sesame Seed
1 Teaspoons Ground Funnel
1 Teaspoon Himalayan Salt
1 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
1 Teaspoon Ground Garlic

Optional For Garnish:
1 Teaspoon Cumin Seeds
1/8 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
Fresh Cilantro

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, mix all the ground spices together with optional cooking wine. You then have an option of to marinate or not to marinate. Marinating will help eliminate some gamey taste of the lamb. To marinate or not to marinate, this is a personal preference.

To marinate, add 1/4 of your spice mix to the lamb strips and mix well. If you are not going to marinate, add your sliced lamb strips into the large bowl and toss it thoroughly. Then place it in an air fryer basket.

Once you fill your air basket, air fry at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until golden crispy. Flip the lamb pieces or give the air basket a good shake halfway to make sure they are air frying evenly. Once it is done cooking, place it on top of some fresh bedded cilantro. Sprinkle sesame seed and cumin seed on top. For the best taste, serve hot.

You want a crispy texture on the outside and buttery tender on the inside. You don’t want to overcook the lamb because the meat can get tough.
