A couple of weekends ago, for the first time, I cooked lamb cutlets! I have never cooked lamb before... I'm not sure whether it is an asian thing, but we were never really brought up to eat much beef or lamb - we ate pork or chicken much more! Asian people often think lamb and beef have a "smell". Anyhow, these cutlets were easy to cook! You should try it sometime!
Taken from Jamie Oliver's cookbooks, he suggested to marinate the cutlets with olive oil and thyme leaves (I added in some garlic myself :P) and then for medium cooked lamb, 3mins on each side. Talk about accurate! The cutlets came out just right! :)
The recipe also suggested field mushrooms which I chucked dry over the pan to heat it up and then once warm to put it into the bowl, which the cutlets went into when cooked and to squeeze lemon juice (weird you might think but it was an excellent touch! Probably took away any potential "lamby smell"!), swirl some olive oil and to season with salt and cracked pepper.
To accompany the cutlets, I made a creamy garlic, mushroom and spinach seeded mustard pasta! Yummy! I received an excellent review from my dinner partner! Haha! :)
