LAMB CHOPS WITH BEANS, CORN AND ZUCCHINI
Lamb chops are always a treat, especially when marinated with lots of chopped rosemary, sage and garlic, then pan-fried slowly in extra-virgin olive oil. A delightful accompaniment is a seasonal vegetable stew of fresh green beans, corn and summer squash. For the best marriage of flavors, cook the vegetables until rather soft. The chops get no sauce; the vegetables are finished with a little gremolata, in this case a mixture of parsley, scallions and lemon zest.

Steps:
- Generously season lamb chops with salt and pepper, garlic, rosemary and sage. Let marinate for at least 1 hour.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, gently pan-fry the chops in 1/4-inch olive oil, about 5 minutes per side, until lightly browned. For medium-rare, cook just until rising juices are visible on the surface of chops; for medium, cook for 2 minutes more. Remove chops and let rest on a warm platter.
- Meanwhile, add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Add zucchini and squash, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Season lightly with salt. (This may be done up to several hours in advance.)
- To finish, raise heat to high. Add corn and beans and stir. Season with salt and pepper. Add about 1/2 cup water, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, until the mixture is soft and juicy. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with the scallions, parsley and lemon zest.

STIR-FRIED LAMB WITH CHILE, CUMIN AND GARLIC
Start with lamb shoulder; leg is not lean or tender enough for this treatment. You can use loin if you prefer, but the dish will cost at least 10 times as much and it won't be any better. Marinate it dry (or nearly so; I use a little soy sauce, for complexity) for as long as you like - 10 minutes, an hour, a day. The flavor will get a little stronger, though not much. More important than the length of time is the freshness of your cumin. You absolutely need cumin seeds, not ground cumin. It's worth the two or three minutes it takes to toast the seeds before marinating the meat. You can grind them if you like, but I like the little bit of crunch the seeds add.

Steps:
- Cut lamb into 1/2-inch cubes (easier if meat is firmed in the freezer for 15 to 45 minutes). Toast cumin seeds in dry skillet over medium heat, shaking pan occasionally, until fragrant, a minute or 2. Toss together lamb with cumin, chili, garlic, soy sauce, a large pinch of salt and a healthy grinding of pepper. If you like, cover and refrigerate until ready to cook, up to 24 hours.
- When ready to cook, put a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet (ideally, it will hold the lamb in one layer, or nearly so) and turn heat to high. When hot, add lamb. Cook, undisturbed, for about a minute, then stir once or twice to loosen lamb from skillet. Cook another minute, then stir again. Add scallions, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions glisten and shrink a bit and the meat is about medium.
- If you want a slightly saucier mixture, stir in 1/4 cup water and cook another minute. Serve hot over rice, garnished, if you like, with cilantro.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of lamb: For this stir-fry, you want to use a cut of lamb that is tender and not too fatty. Good options include lamb loin, leg of lamb, or lamb sirloin.
- Slice the lamb thinly: This will help it cook quickly and evenly.
- Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and pepper will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
- Use a hot pan: When stir-frying, it is important to use a hot pan so that the food cooks quickly and does not stick.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the food will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick.
- Stir-fry in batches: If you have a lot of food to stir-fry, do it in batches so that you do not overcrowd the pan.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked.
