Ingredients
- 8 lamb cutlets
- Sea salt and Black Pepper (for seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon dried mint
- 1 teaspoon mild smoked paprika
- ½ a lemon
- extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 200 g almonds
- 200 g houmous
- 2 tablespoons harissa paste
COLESLAW
- 2 carrots
- ½ a celeriac
- ¼ of a small red cabbage
- ½ an onion
- 1 handful of fresh coriander
- 6 tablespoons natural yoghurt
- 1 lime
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas 4.
- Lay the lamb cutlets on a plate and sprinkle them with sea salt, black pepper, the mint and paprika.
- Finely grate over the lemon zest and squeeze over the juice, then drizzle with oil and massage the flavours into the lamb cutlets. Leave to marinate for 1 hour.
- In the meantime, crush the fennel and cumin seeds in a pestle and mortar, then tip onto a baking tray with the almonds. Drizzle with a little oil, season and toss to coat.
- Toast in the preheated oven until lightly golden, then remove and let the spiced nuts cool.
- For the coleslaw, peel and shred the carrots and celeriac on a mandolin / in a blender. Remove the core from the cabbage and peel the onion, then slice as finely as possible. Pick and finely chop the coriander leaves and stalks.
- Place all the vegetables in a bowl with the yoghurt and coriander stalks, then finely grate in the lime zest and squeeze in the juice. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the houmous into a bowl, and place the harissa and a lug of oil on top and mix them together with a spoon to get a rippled effect.
- Put the cooled spiced nuts into a sandwich bag and smash them up with a rolling pin.
- Preheat a griddle pan to high, then cook the lamb for roughly 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to medium.
- Serve the lamb cutlets on a plate with some of the harissa houmous mixture, coleslaw and spicy nuts nicely around them, then sprinkle with the coriander leaves. Dip a chop in the houmous, then in the nuts and eat with the coleslaw for a delicious combination.
