Walnut Crusted Lamb Cutlets with Minted Mushy Peas and Roasted Tomatoes. (Minted Mushy Peas adapted from Jamie Oliver)
Serves 2
8 Lamb cutlets, french trimmed
1/2 cup of walnuts, coarsely (not finely) ground
1/2 cup of dry multigrain breadcrumbs
1 egg
1 tsp dried Italian mixed herbs
Salt and pepper to season.
21/2 cups frozen peas
1/2 cup chopped mint leaves
1 tbsp butter
A squeeze of lemon juice
2 springs truss baby roma tomatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
To make the peas, add butter to a pan along with the peas and mint. Put a lid on top and simmer for 10 mins.Add a squeeze of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. You can mush up the peas in a food processor or by hand till they are stodgy and thick.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Heat olive oil in a shallow frying pan. Combine walnuts, breadcrumbs, herbs and seasoning in a plate. Whisk the egg lightly in a shallow bowl. Dip the cutlets in egg and then coat in the walnut mixture. In batches brown the lamb cutlets 2 mins on each side.
Place them in a roasting tray with the tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil. Roast for 5 mins until lamb is medium rare and the tomatoes soften. Rest for 5 mins while you reheat the mash
To serve: Place 3-4 heaped tablespoons of mushy peas on the plate. Top with lamb cutlets and roasted tomatoes. Mix balsamic vinegar with pan juices and drizzle over.

I remember walking at my neighbourhood park in London when I was young and looking for chestnuts that were all over the ground, some in their shells some already open. I also remember eating raw almonds, picking them from the trees in the orchards in Saudi. Quite different from picking your own berries!
The lamb chops made good use of the walnuts, they look gorgeous Sonali! Mushy peas and roasted tomatoes look divine too!

And I do have some questions for you if you don’t mind. Is it only me or does it appear like some of the responses look as if they are written by brain dead people? 😛 And, if you are writing on other sites, I would like to follow anything fresh you have to post.
