Lamb Cutlets Marina Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200c.
• Sprinkle olive oil over the base of the baking dish.
• Lay cutlets in the dish, rubbing them with the oil.
• Cover cutlets with crushed garlic, mustard and rosemary, then season with the salt and pepper.
• Place in the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes, turning once, until the cutlets ar browned and crispy.
• If desired, serve on a bed of couscous with your favourite steamed vegetables.

Steps:

• Mix together the pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, olive oil and chilli powder, then toss the cutlets in it. Cover and leave in a cool place for 2-3 hrs.
• When you are ready, heat the grill to high. Lift the cutlets out of the marinade and scrape what is left into a bowl. Mix the yogurt into the leftover marinade and add 1 tsp salt. Brush some of the mix over the cutlets on both sides and place on the grill tray - make sure it's about 5cm below the grill. Cook for 2-3 mins each side, brushing with additional yogurt mix when turning. The cutlets should be browned and just beginning to scorch. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• The day before, remove seeds and stem from the ancho and chipotle chillies. Put skin-side down in a dry frying pan over a medium heat, turning until softened and toasted without burning.
• In the same pan, cook the garlic and onions on a medium heat until slightly blackened all over. Once cooled, place in a blender with the chillies, olive oil and a pinch of salt. Whizz to a paste.
• Rub the lamb cutlets with the marinade at least 12 hours before cooking, preferably overnight, and store in the fridge. Remove them at least an hour before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
• Heat a frying or griddle pan over a medium heat. Cook the lamb cutlets until the fat turns brown and starts to melt (around 7 mins), then cook the other side for at least 5 mins more - this will need at least two batches, depending on the size of your pan. We like to serve them pink, sprinkled with sea salt and herbs.

Steps:

• Put the rosemary, garlic and rapeseed oil in a small bowl, and mash together to release the flavours. Smear over the lamb cutlets, place in a bowl or sealable food bag and leave to marinate.
• For the corn, heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the onion and sauté until softened, about 3 mins. Add the red pepper and stir to coat in the onion mixture. Add a splash of cold water, then cover until the pepper is soft, about 5 mins.
• Put the mixture into a food processor bowl with the sweetcorn and crème fraîche. Blitz until combined and fairly smooth. Return to the heat in a pan and warm to serve.
• Heat a griddle pan. Place the lamb cutlets in the pan and cook until pink or as cooked as you like them. Once cooked, remove from the pan and cover with foil to keep warm. Place the fennel wedges in the griddle pan and griddle until cooked and marked with char lines. Add the tomatoes for the last few mins of cooking. Eat as soon as the lamb is cooked to your liking.
