Cooking: 10 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
Small bunch of thyme, stalks removed

Lamb cutlets 2 – 3 per person, depending on size

1 1/2 lemon
Preparation
- Place the thyme, spices and parsley in a pestle with the oil and grind for 2 – 3 minutes.

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.
