1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onions and crushed garlic to the pan. Sauté until they become softened and develop a golden color.
3. Introduce the lean ground lamb to the pan, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until the lamb is thoroughly browned.
4. Incorporate the pepper, ground cumin, ground allspice, dried mint, and chopped fresh mint into the lamb mixture. Stir well to combine, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.
