Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb cutlets
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces kiwi fruit
- 0.5 pieces red onion
- 1 piece red chili
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
Directions
Step 1
In a mortar and pestle or small food processor, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, lemon juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 2
Place the lamb cutlets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each cutlet is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
Step 3
While the lamb is marinating, prepare the kiwi salsa. Peel and dice the kiwi fruits into small cubes. Finely chop the red onion, red chili (remove seeds for less heat), and fresh cilantro.
Step 4
Combine the diced kiwi, red onion, red chili, and cilantro in a bowl. Add lime juice and honey, mixing gently to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed, then refrigerate until serving time.
Step 5
Preheat a grill pan or barbecue to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb cutlets from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Cook the cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Step 6
Allow the lamb cutlets to rest for 5 minutes after cooking. Serve hot, topped with the fresh kiwi salsa and accompanied by your favorite sides.
