General Tso\'s and Lamb Chops

I usually cook enough on Sunday for the beginning of the week. It was an unlikely combination, but both were so good I had to have some of each. I also tried to keep things a bit more healthy by not deep frying the chicken. Cooking 15 pieces at a time with less than a tbl of peanut oil worked well.

Lamb had a rub of cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. The sauce was a yogurt, mint, and a small amount of lemon juice. I used the greek yogurt and it was worth the additional $1!!

Chicken was mixed with a "slurry" of corn starch, soy sauce, and egg.

Add a side dish of quinoa and a couple of mojitos and there you are!!
