Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb cutlets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup yogurt (for serving, optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, ground cumin, ground paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the lamb cutlets in the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the lamb cutlets from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the lamb cutlets for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more well done. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare doneness.
Remove the cutlets from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the lamb cutlets on a platter with a dollop of yogurt on the side, if desired, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Enjoy your Lamb Cutlets Marina with a side of roasted vegetables or a light green salad.
