Instructions
- 1
Pat the lamb cubes dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt. Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the lamb in a single layer ā work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding ā and sear undisturbed for 3ā4 minutes per side until deep golden brown on at least two sides. Transfer the seared lamb to a plate and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the pot. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and fresh ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute ā watch closely so the garlic does not brown.
