  6. Combine fresh parsley, fresh cilantro, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, small shallot, cumin seeds, crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, and extra virgin olive oil in a high-speed blender.
  7. Blend the ingredients until smooth.
  8. Use 1/3 of the sauce for marinating the meat before cooking. Once the lamb is roasted, apply the remaining sauce to finish the dish.
