How to make Spiced Lamb Cutlets

Place the lamb cutlets in a mixing bowl and add all the ingredients for the first marinade:. Combine thoroughly. Set aside to marinate for half an hour.

Add all the ingredients for the second marinade and combine thoroughly, massaging well into the lamb.

Allow this to marinate for a minimum of two hours or, if you have the time, overnight.

Preheat oven to 220°C. Place the cutlets on to an oiled wire rack over an oven tray and roast for 6-8 minutes, basting regularly with the excess marinade. The lamb should be pink.

Leave to rest for 2 -3 minutes. Serve with coriander, walnut chutney and salad.
