Ingredients
For the Greek Style Lamb Cutlets:
- 8 small lamb cutlets
- 4 cloves of garlic peeled
- Small handful fresh mint finely chopped
- Small handful fresh parsley finely chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped anchovies
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- Black pepper
For the Roasted Vegetables:
- 20-30 vine-ripened cherry tomatoes
- 1 courgette chopped into ½ cm thick rounds
- 1 onion chopped into wedges
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 160C / 325F / Gas Mark 4.
- Marinate the Lamb Cutlets: Crush the garlic in a mortar and pestle with the mint, parsley, and a little salt. Whisk in the olive oil and lemon juice, then stir in the anchovies and freshly ground black pepper. Rub the mixture into the lamb chops, then leave to marinate.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Scatter all of the vegetables into a roasting dish. Combine the garlic with the olive oil, then drizzle over the vegetables. Season well with salt, pepper, and oregano. Place into the oven and leave to roast for around 40 minutes.
- Cook the Lamb Cutlets: About 10 minutes before the vegetables are done, heat a large pan over a high heat with a little olive oil. When really hot, add the lamb chops and cook for 2 – 3 minutes on each side (for medium).
- Serve: Remove the vegetables from the oven and serve with the lamb cutlets. Enjoy!
Notes
- For added flavour, marinate the lamb cutlets overnight in the fridge.
- These lamb cutlets can also be grilled on a BBQ for an added smoky flavour.
- Serve with a side of tzatziki or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
