BREADED LAMB CUTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. If you are using rib or loin slices, pound them lightly with heel of your hand until they are about 1/2 inch thick. If you are using leg slices, put them between 2 pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap and pound with a mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/2 inch thick. Put a large nonstick or well-seasoned skillet over medium-high heat and add half the oil.
• When oil shimmers, dip a piece of lamb in eggs, then press both sides into bread crumbs. Put the slices in the skillet; do not crowd. Season with salt, pepper and cumin.
• As each slice browns, flip it. Adjust heat so that each side browns in about 2 minutes. Keep finished pieces warm in the oven. Add the remaining oil to the pan when necessary. Serve with parsley and lemon slices.

HERBED LAMB CUTLETS WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the peppers, sweet potato, courgettes and onion on a large baking tray and drizzle over the oil. Season with lots of ground black pepper. Roast for 25 mins.
• Meanwhile, trim the lamb of as much fat as possible. Mix the herbs with a few twists of ground black pepper and pat all over the lamb.
• Take the vegetables out of the oven, turn over and push to one side of the tray. Place the cutlets on the hot tray and return to the oven for 10 mins.
• Turn the cutlets and cook for a further 10 mins or until the vegetables and lamb are tender and lightly charred. Mix everything on the tray and serve.
