Juicy lamb cutlets coated in crispy haloumi crumb, perfect with baked potatoes.
Ingredients:
  • 750g baby potatoes, halved
  • 250g mixed baby tomatoes
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 95g (1/2 cup) mixed marinated olives
  • 4 garlic cloves, bruised
  • 1 lemon, rind finely grated, halved
  • 8 sprigs fresh oregano
  • 100ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 125g day-old sourdough bread, torn
  • 75g haloumi, coarsely grated
  • 50g (1/3 cup) plain flour
  • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 12 French-trimmed lamb cutlets
  • Steamed green beans, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan forced, while microwaving the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl on High for 5 minutes until just tender. Drain the liquid before moving on.
  • In a bowl, toss together potatoes, tomatoes, onion, olives, garlic, lemon rind, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 4 sprigs of oregano, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Season the mixture. Divide evenly among four squares of baking paper, then fold up the corners and twist them together. Secure with kitchen string, place on a baking tray, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Next, blend bread, haloumi, and the rest of the oregano until finely chopped and transfer to a plate. Spread flour on a separate plate and season it. Put the egg in a shallow bowl. Coat the lamb in flour, then egg, and finally the crumb mixture, ensuring an even coating by pressing gently.
  • In a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Cook 6 cutlets, turning occasionally, until cooked to your liking, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate, then repeat with the rest of the oil and cutlets. Serve with potato parcels, beans, and the remaining lemon.
