LAMB STUFFED ZUCCHINI
I had several "eight-ball" or round zucchini from my garden and wanted a yummy main dish to make them into so I created this for dinner. It came out savory and delicious! It would be great to stir some cheese into the stuffing as well. I served it with steamed rice and fruit salad.

Steps:
- Wash the zucchini well and cut the stem off. If using regular long zucchini, slice in half lengthwise. Using a melon baller, hollow out the middle of the zucchini while keeping a "boat" of outer flesh intact. Swirl 1T. olive oil in the bottom of a baking dish and place the zucchini boats in the dish.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a non-stick medium fry pan, saute the onions and garlic in the other T. of olive oil. Let them soften but do not brown.
- Add the ground lamb and cook until the lamb is mostly cooked through.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in the bread crumbs and rosemary, salt and pepper.
- Beat the egg lightly in a separate bowl then pour over the lamb mixture and stir to combine.
- Spoon the lamb mixture into each zucchini cavity, mounding to fill. Any filling that falls around the zucchini will just make nice browned bits to eat.
- Cover with foil loosely and bake in oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake another 10-15 minutes or until zucchini is nicely softened and stuffing is browned.

CUMIN LAMB STIR-FRY
Fragrant, intense and full of fiery chile, this lamb stir-fry isn't for the timid eater. For the most authentic flavor, it's worth your while to seek out Sichuan peppercorns, which have a woodsy, tongue-numbing, camphor quality. (They are available at specialty spice markets, in Chinatown, or online.) You can substitute regular black peppercorns, but you won't get the same punch. If you're not a lamb-lover, you can also try this with lean beef. Serve this over white or brown rice to cut the heat, with a side of sliced cucumbers dressed with sesame oil and salt for freshness.

Steps:
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast cumin seeds and peppercorns until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and crush lightly.
- Slice meat across the grain into 1/2-inch-thick strips. Toss meat with crushed spices, ground cumin, salt and dried chiles.
- Peel onion and halve it through the root end. Trim the ends and cut each half lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cut white and light green parts of scallions into 2-inch lengths. Thinly slice scallion greens; keep separate.
- Heat a very large skillet or wok over high heat until screaming hot, about 5 minutes. Add oil. Toss in onion and the scallion bottoms. Cook, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are lightly charred but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add lamb and chiles to skillet. Cook, tossing quickly, until meat begins to brown. Add garlic, soy sauce and sherry. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and lamb is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Toss in onions and scallion bottoms. Remove from heat and mix in cilantro and scallion greens. Serve hot, over rice.
