Juicy lamb cutlets coated in a crunchy sun-dried tomato pesto crust.
Ingredients:
  • 8 (about 650g) French trimmed lamb cutlets
  • 85g (1/3 cup) Sundried Tomato Pesto
  • 180g green beans, trimmed
  • 120g sugar snap peas, trimmed
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, halved
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 25g (1/3 cup) fresh coarse breadcrumbs
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 20.00 gm Sundried Tomato Pesto
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan forced. In a large bowl, toss lamb cutlets with pesto until they are well coated.
  • Preheat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side until they are nicely golden. Place the lamb on a baking tray and roast for 5-6 minutes for medium doneness or until cooked to your preference. Tent the tray loosely with foil and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • For the pesto crumbs, heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook breadcrumbs for 5 minutes until almost golden. Then add garlic and pesto, cook and stir for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden and crisp. Season to taste.
  • Blanch the peas, beans, and asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain well.
  • Arrange the lamb and vegetables on serving plates. Top the lamb with pesto crumbs and garnish with lemon wedges before serving.
