Mongolian Lamb Dumplings Recipes

CRISPY MONGOLIAN LAMB

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the lamb in a casserole dish with a lid. Add remaining ingredients plus enough water to just cover. Cook with the lid on for 3 hrs until the meat is tender and the bones pull out easily. Allow to cool still covered in the cooking liquid with the lid on. You can do this 1-2 days in advance and let the lamb cool completely in the fridge. This will make the next step easier.
• When cold, lift the lamb out of the liquid and transfer to a baking tray. Skim fat from the sauce. Reserve half the sauce for the noodles (in 'Try' section, below) and bubble the rest, still in the pan, until thick and syrupy. Pour into a small serving bowl. Heat grill to medium and grill lamb until crisp and hot through, but not too dark.
• Shred the lamb, discarding most of the fat and all the bones, but keep the nice, crisp skin. You can cut the skin off first and leave it in a hot oven while you shred the rest of the meat. To serve, take everything to the table and eat the lamb rolled up in the lettuce leaves with the cucumber, spring onions and sauce, plus the noodles on the side.

LAMB DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Make the chile sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk to combine tomato paste, vinegar, oil, cumin, turmeric, paprika, cayenne, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 cup water. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until thickened and reduced by one-third. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauce may be served warm, room temperature, or chilled.
• Make the dough: In a large bowl, stir to combine flour, oil, salt, egg, and 3/4 cup water. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until soft and slightly sticky, about 10 minutes.
• Divide dough into 32 equal pieces. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet and your hands with oil. Working with one piece of dough at a time, use your hands to roll into a ball. Transfer to baking sheet, then repeat process with remaining dough. Drizzle balls with additional oil, cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let rest at room temperature for 3 hours.
• Make the filling: Melt ghee in a medium skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until just softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add garlic, cumin, coriander, and sumac and cook until fragrant. Add lamb and cook, stirring often, until meat is browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in raisins and pine nuts. Remove from heat and let cool slightly; stir in mint. Let cool to room temperature.
• Working with one ball of dough at a time, place ball on surface and use your fingertips to flatten into a 4-inch round. Place 1 heaping tablespoon lamb filling into the center of the round. Fold dough over filling to enclose, forming a half moon. Pinch edges together, crimping to tightly seal. Repeat process with remaining dough and filling.
• Heat oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 350 degrees. Working in batches, fry dumplings until crisp and golden all over, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet; let drain. Serve dumplings warm with chile sauce.
