Stir fried Lamb with Lemon-Soy Vinaigrette

4 shallots minced
1 red jalapeno pepper with seeds, minced
2 green jalapeno peppers with seeds, minced
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp peanut oil
1.5 pounds lean ground lamb
1/5 cup chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) plus 1/4 cup whole
leaves for garnish
1/4 cup Chinese preserved or pickled cabbage
1/2 tsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
18 radicchio leaves
1/4 small red onion, sliced crosswise 1/8 inch thick
1/4 small white onion, sliced crosswise 1/8 inch thick
lemon-soy vinaigrette (recipe follows)

In medium skillet, cook shallots, red jalapeno, half of the green
jalapeno, and the garlic in 2 tsp of peanut oil, stirring over low heat
until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a bowl, combine the cooled vegetable mixture with the ground lamb and mix thoroughly. Add chopped fresh coriander, pickled cabbage, soy sauce, salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, cook the lamb mixture in the remaining 2 tsp of
peanut oil over high heat, stirring well to break up clumps, until
browned, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Place 3 radicchio leaves on each plate and fill with the lamb mixture
(i.e., serves six) and fill with the lamb mixture. Combine the red onion, white onion, fresh coriander leaves and remaining green jalapenos; sprinkle on top of the lamb. Serve drizzled with a few tbsp of lemon-soy vinaigrette; serve remaining vinaigrette on the side.
