Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 6 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 cup hoisin sauce
• 4 tablespoons oil, divided
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
• 1 lb ground lamb
• 1 carrot, peeled and finely diced

• 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, chopped

Recipe

• 1 in a small pan, combine half the garlic with the hoisin sauce. cook over medium heat until thickened and beginning to turn syrupy, 2-5 minutes depending on the pot used. stir often to prevent burning.
• 2 in a large skillet, heat half the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. add the onion, ginger, and remaining garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft. add lamb and break up with a wooden spoon. cook, stirring occasionally, until all the moisture has evaporated and the lamb is cooked through and tender.
• 3 in a second skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. add the carrot and potato. cook until almost tender, then add red bell pepper and water chestnuts and cook for a few minutes longer. add this mixture to the lamb along with the reduced hoisin sauce. stir well to coat the lamb and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• 4 separate and wash lettuce leaves; serve alongside lamb.
