Lamb Cutlets with a Herb Crust and Yogurt Dressing

This recipe is very simple, but looks spectacular, and so is ideal for entertaining. Serve with Mediterranean-style rice, cooked with a little onion, tomato and herbs, and a generous helping of thick, creamy FAGE Total Yogurt.

Preparation: 5 minutes Cooking: 10 minutes Serves: 4

Ingredients

Small bunch of thyme, stalks removed
1 tbsp each mixed peppercorns, cumin seeds and coriander seeds
Large bunch of parsley, roughly chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
Lamb cutlets 2 – 3 per person, depending on size
7 oz FAGE Total Yogurt
1 1/2 lemon

Preparation

  1. Place the thyme, spices and parsley in a pestle with the oil and grind for 2 – 3 minutes.
  2. Press this seasoning into both surfaces of each cutlet.
  3. Grill or cook the cutlets in a griddle pan for about 8 minutes until thoroughly cooked, turning once.
  4. Mix the FAGE Total Yogurt with the lemon juice and spoon over the cutlets, just before serving.
  5. Serve with rice or mashed potato.

Chef's tip

If you don’t have a pestle and mortar, crush the spices with a rolling pin and chop the herbs, then add the oil. To make a great, creamy mashed potato, add FAGE Total Yogurt in place of milk and butter.
