1. Prepare Spice Mixture
Begin by combining the cumin seeds, Sichuan peppercorns, and red pepper flakes. Use a spice mill or a mortar and pestle to grind them into a coarse powder.
2. Season Lamb Chops
Add 1½ teaspoons of kosher salt to the spice mixture and mix well. Generously season the lamb chops with this cumin-salt blend.
3. Sear Lamb Chops
Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the lamb chops for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
4. Rest Lamb Chops
After searing, let the lamb chops rest on a serving platter for about 5 minutes.
5. Char Scallions
In the same skillet, add the scallions. Cook them until they are lightly charred, which should take just a few minutes.
6. Finish Scallions and Serve
Add a tablespoon of unseasoned rice vinegar to the skillet with the scallions, along with the peanuts if you're using them. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
