Stir-fried lamb with garlic and basil

Method

1. Cut the lamb into thin slices. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ingredients for the marinade. Add the lamb, mix well and marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature. Drain, discarding the marinade.

2. Heat a wok over high heat until it is very hot. Add the oil, and when it is very hot and slightly smoking, add the lamb and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

3. Add the garlic, salt and pepper, and continue to stir-fry for another 3 minutes.

4. Finally toss in the basil and coriander, and continue to stir-fry for 1 further minute or until the herbs have wilted.

5. Turn onto a warm serving platter and serve at once.
