Rachel Allen's grilled spring lamb cutlets recipe
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 12 lamb cutlets
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
- 25 g (0.9oz) butter
- 2 medium courgettes
- 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper
- 125 g (4.4oz) butter, softened
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 2 anchovies, chopped
- 10 capers, chopped
- 6 black olives, pitted and chopped
- 1 squeeze of lemon juice
- In a bowl, mix together all ingredients for the flavoured butter.
- Next, lay out a piece of baking parchment or cling film.
- Spoon the butter mixture on top of the parchment or cling film in to a rough sausage shape, then use the parchment or cling film to roll the butter into a log about 2.5cm (1in) in diameter.
- Place in the fridge and keep chilled until needed.
- To cook the cutlets, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place a griddle pan or frying pan on a high heat and allow to get quite hot, then add the cutlets and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side depending on how well done you like them.
- Take them off the heat, and allow to rest for a few minutes as you cook the courgettes.
- To cook the courgettes, first peel them, then slice in half lengthways and remove and discard the soft inner seeds.
- Next carefully cut the flesh into 1cm ( 1/2in) cubes or slices.
- To cook, place a frying pan on a high heat.
- Once hot, add the Kerrygold butter and when the butter has melted tip in the courgette pieces.
- Saute for 2-3 minutes until just softened, tossing regularly, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, cut a few slices of your flavoured butter, about 1cm thick, and place a slice on each lamb chop then serve immediately with the buttered courgettes.
