Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add diced onion, cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add ground lamb, breaking it up with a spoon as it browns, until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in cumin, cinnamon, and coriander. Cook until fragrant, 30 seconds, then season with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Divide warm rice between two bowls. Top each with spiced lamb mixture.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange tomato slices, cucumber, and lettuce-carrot mix around each bowl.

  6. Step 6

    Drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon if you have it. Serve immediately.
