Lemon Mustard Lamb Cutlets with Cucumber Salad

Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

  • 8 Coles lamb cutlets

  • 2 tbsp Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

  • sea salt and black pepper to taste

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 4 thyme sprigs, leaves picked

  • 1 lemon

  • 1 tsp honey

  • 3 tbsp thick Greek yoghurt to serve

Cucumber Salad

  • 250 g punnet Coles Qukes baby cucumbers  

  • 4 red radish, sliced

  • 12 pitted green Sicilian olives

  • ¼ cup fresh mint, leaves picked

  • ¼ cup dill, sprigs picked

Method

  • Place the mustard, thyme, zest of ½ the lemon, honey, salt and pepper into a bowl and mix well. Toss the lamb cutlets through the mustard mixture to coat and set aside.

  • Heat a grill pan over a medium-high heat. Drizzle the lamb cutlets with 1 tablespoon of oil and grill for 2 minutes each side, or until caramelised on the outside and cooked through. Remove from the pan and allow to rest for 2-3 minutes.

  • Cut the cucumbers and radish and place them into a bowl. Lightly crush the olives and add them into the salad with the mint and dill. Squeeze over the juice of ½ lemon, remaining oil and a pinch of salt and pepper into the salad.

  • Spoon the yoghurt onto a serving platter. Top with the salad and arrange the cutlets over the top before serving
