Barbacoa Marinated Lamb Cutlets Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the oil, balsamic vinegar, parsley, rosemary, cumin, garlic and 2 tablespoons mint in a medium bowl. Place the lamb into a resealable plastic bag and pour half of the marinade over the lamb. Season with salt and pepper, seal the bag and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Add the lemon zest and juice and remaining 6 tablespoons mint to the remaining marinade and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot; lightly brush with oil.
• Remove the lamb from the bag, letting the excess marinade drip off (discard the marinade). Season with salt and pepper. Grill the chops, turning once, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Serve the chops with the reserved marinade.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, except lamb, in a non-metallic dish. Add lamb, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Grill or fry the cutlets over medium heat for 5 minutes each side (for medium-rare) or until cooked to your liking, basting with the marinade a few times for the first 8 minutes.
• Season with pepper and garnish with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Mix together the pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, olive oil and chilli powder, then toss the cutlets in it. Cover and leave in a cool place for 2-3 hrs.
• When you are ready, heat the grill to high. Lift the cutlets out of the marinade and scrape what is left into a bowl. Mix the yogurt into the leftover marinade and add 1 tsp salt. Brush some of the mix over the cutlets on both sides and place on the grill tray - make sure it's about 5cm below the grill. Cook for 2-3 mins each side, brushing with additional yogurt mix when turning. The cutlets should be browned and just beginning to scorch. Serve with lemon wedges.
