Herbed Lamb
Preparation Time:15 minutes, plus 30 minutes marinating
Cooking Time: 8 minutes
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients:
- 12 (1kg/2 lb) rib lamb loin cutlets
Marinade:
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- 1 medium onion, grated
- 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh oregano
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Steps:
- Snip the edges of the cutlets to prevent them from curling.
- To make marinade: combine all the ingredients in a large shallow dish.
- Turn cutlets over in the marinade. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes, turning once.
- Place cutlets on preheated plate (griddle) or grill and cook over medium heat with the hood down for 4 minutes. Turn and continue to cook for 3 minutes to give a medium rare result. Continue to cook if you prefer your cutlets well done, or if you are cooking without a hood.
Note: This marinade can also be used on cubes of boned lamb to be skewered.
Serving Suggestion: Crisp green salad or barbecued vegetables.
