Garlicky Lamb Cutlets With Sicilian Style Greens Recipes

GARLICKY LAMB CUTLETS WITH SICILIAN-STYLE GREENS

Steps:

• Use a small sharp knife to poke a few holes in each lamb cutlet, then push in slivers of garlic and rosemary leaves. Rub all over with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and leave to marinate for up to a day in the fridge, or at room temperature for 30 mins.
• Put the remaining oil, the shallots and 1 rosemary sprig in a big frying pan. Gently cook until the shallots are very soft and golden. Remove the rosemary sprig and discard, then add the sugar, sherry vinegar and sultanas. Cook for another few mins to plump up the fruit, then stir in the pine nuts and set aside.
• Heat a big pan of water until boiling, then add the asparagus and broad beans for 1 1/2 mins. Tip in the peas, count to 10, then drain everything. Halve the asparagus spears lengthways.
• Heat the grill or a griddle pan and season the lamb. Warm up the shallot mixture, then tip in all the cooked veg, plus the spinach with some seasoning. Stir together and gently warm through while you grill or griddle the lamb for 1-2 mins each side or until cooked to your liking. Serve with the veg.

SAUTEED SICILIAN LAMB

Steps:

• Set a large saute pan over high heat and add the oil. Sprinkle the lamb with salt and pepper. Add the lamb to the pan along with the garlic and saute until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the oregano and pepper flakes and stir. The lamb is done when browned all over but still tender. Transfer to a dish and set aside.
• Set the pan back over the heat and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onions, roasted peppers and mushrooms to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the olives, capers and lemon zest. Bring to a simmer and reduce by two-thirds, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Return the lamb to the pan and stir together to incorporate the flavors and heat through.
• Serve the lamb with rice pilaf and garnish with the parsley.
