Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb cutlets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup yogurt (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 2
Add the lamb cutlets to the bowl and rub the marinade evenly over each piece, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.
Step 3
Remove the lamb cutlets from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Step 4
Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the lamb cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
Step 5
Transfer the cooked lamb cutlets to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Step 6
Serve the lamb cutlets warm, optionally paired with a dollop of yogurt or your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
