Breaded Lamb Cutlets Recipes

BREADED LAMB CUTLETS,

Steps:

• Trim off any excess fat from each cutlet, flatten slightly with a meat mallet.
• Combine breadcrumbs, parsley, basil and cheese. Coat cutlets in flour dip into egg then coat completely in breadcrumb mixture.
• Lay cutlets flat on a tray or plate in a single layer, place in refrigerator for 10 Min's this makes them easier to handle.
• Heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in fry pan add lamb ( you may need to use a couple of pans) Cook until browned on both sides turn the heat down and continue cooking until cooked as desired, turning occasionally, I do this instead of finishing in the oven as the coating tends to lose its crispiness.
• I have allowed for three cutlets per person so make 16 if you want four per person.
• Serve with mash, roasted or boiled potato and vegetable.

PARMESAN AND HERB CRUSTED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper on a plate.
• Place eggs in a bowl and beat to blend.
• Combine cheese, panko, rosemary, parsley, thyme, garlic and salt and black pepper to taste in a bowl.
• Dust lamb chops with seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Dip in eggs, then thoroughly coat with cheese, breadcrumb and herb mixture.
• Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Place 3 to 4 chops in the pan, reduce heat to medium and cook until nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a rack set over a baking sheet and hold warm in the oven if necessary. Repeat with remaining chops.

PARMESAN LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, cut between bones to divide the rack of lamb into 8 chops. Trim chops of any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• In a small bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan, fennel seed and rosemary.
• Dip each chop into the seasoned flour, then into the beaten eggs. Lay the chops on a baking sheet and sprinkle both sides of each liberally with the crumb mixture. Press any remaining mixture evenly over the chops to coat well.
• In a wide skillet, pour the olive oil to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat over a medium-high burner until the oil looks wavy. Add the chops without crowding. They should begin to sizzle, but not brown too quickly. Adjust the heat so they fry gently for about 21/2 minutes, until crisp and golden. Turn with tongs and fry on the other side for about 2 minutes. (The interiors should be pink and juicy, but not rare.) Blot on paper towels. Serve with parsley sprigs and lemon wedges.

BREADED LAMB CUTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. If you are using rib or loin slices, pound them lightly with heel of your hand until they are about 1/2 inch thick. If you are using leg slices, put them between 2 pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap and pound with a mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/2 inch thick. Put a large nonstick or well-seasoned skillet over medium-high heat and add half the oil.
• When oil shimmers, dip a piece of lamb in eggs, then press both sides into bread crumbs. Put the slices in the skillet; do not crowd. Season with salt, pepper and cumin.
• As each slice browns, flip it. Adjust heat so that each side browns in about 2 minutes. Keep finished pieces warm in the oven. Add the remaining oil to the pan when necessary. Serve with parsley and lemon slices.

• Strain shortly before serving, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper if desired.

BREADED LAMB CUTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°F. If you're using rib or loin slices, pound them lightly with the heel of your hand until they are about 1/2 inch thick. If you're using leg, put them between 2 sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap and pound with a mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/2 inch thick. Put a nonstick or well-seasoned skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil.
• When the oil shimmers, dip a piece of lamb in the egg and press both sides into the bread crumbs. Add to the skillet; do not crowd-you will have to cook in batches. When the meat is in the skillet, season it with salt and pepper and sprinkle it with a pinch of cumin if you like.
• As the meat browns, flip it and brown the other side; adjust the heat so that each side browns in about 2 minutes; the meat should remain rare. As the pieces finish, put them on an ovenproof platter and keep them warm in the oven. When they are all done, garnish with parsley if you like and serve with lemon wedges.

LAMB CHOPS WITH MUSTARD-HERB CRUST

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine mustard and garlic. In a wide shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, rosemary, and dried herbs; whisk to combine. Pat lamb chops dry with a paper towel and season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. With a basting brush, lightly coat lamb chops with mustard mixture, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture.
• In a large nonstick saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add half the lamb chops to pan and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining chops and oil. Let lamb chops rest 5 minutes before serving.

GARLIC AND HERB CRUSTED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the garlic, bread crumbs, and rosemary in a food processor and pulse for a few seconds to chop, then add enough olive oil until a paste is formed. Season with salt and pepper. Press paste firmly onto surface of lamb chops. Heat grapeseed oil over medium heat in a saute pan and brown each side of the chops, leaving undisturbed for the first 2 minutes to allow the crust to integrate into the meat. Place on a baking sheet and finish in the oven, for approximately 6 to 8 additional minutes.

BREADED LAMB CUTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°F. If using medallions from racks, press to a 1/2-inch thickness with the palm of your hand. If using cuts from the loin or leg, place the meat between sheets of wax paper and pound to a 1/2-inch thickness with a mallet or rolling pin. Place a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil, cumin, thyme, and garlic.
• When the oil shimmers, remove the garlic and discard. Dip the lamb pieces into the egg, press into the bread crumbs on both sides, and add to the skillet. Do not crowd-you will have to cook in batches. When the meat is in the skillet, season it with salt and pepper and sprinkle it with a pinch of cumin.
• Brown one side, then flip and brown the other; adjust the heat so that each side takes about 2 minutes. The meat should remain rare. Remove the pieces, drain, and then transfer to a warm platter in the oven. When all the pieces are done, drain the oil from the pan, leaving the browned bits, and then add the wine to the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer until it reduces by half, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Garnish the lamb with the parsley if you like and serve it alongside the wine sauce and lemon wedges.
