Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb cutlets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
- 1 tablespoon extra parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Rinse the lamb cutlets and pat them dry with a paper towel. Add the lamb cutlets to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more intense flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the lamb cutlets from the marinade, shaking off the excess. Place the cutlets on the preheated grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is recommended, with an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
Once cooked, transfer the lamb cutlets to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish the lamb cutlets with extra parsley if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
